Every story has a beginning, a middle and an end; and yours is no different.

But instead of spending every day dreaming about something more and hypothesising how you can make the world a better place, why not get out there and actually do something about it?

If you’re waiting for the right time, there is no time like the present. And if you’re in need of some inspiration, allow us to help.

Below, we have listed just three inspirational quotes that summarise the start, middle and end of your story (or at least what your story could be), so you can feel enthused and empowered to change lives and make a difference.

Read on for more.

The Start:
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step ~ Lao Tzu

As we said, even the smallest movement in the right direction can set a chain of events that completely revolutionises the world, and the impact charity has on it. So take that first step and lead the way when it comes to showing compassion, giving charity, and putting others first all over the world.

The Middle:
Distance means so little, when someone means so much ~ Unknown

Once you have decided to take the plunge and make the commitment to helping others, there might be days that you simply can’t deal with it. You might be hot, tired, homesick, and many more things besides – but you’re not a quitter. You won’t give up. And why? Because the people you’re helping, the real people who benefit beyond belief from what you do, mean far too much for you to give up. Regardless of how far you’ve come or how far you’ve got to go, physically or metaphorically, they’re worth it.

The End:
Today’s accomplishments were yesterday’s impossibilities ~ Robert Schuller

Whether you’re physically going the distance by volunteering miles and miles away from home, or you feel like you’ve done a long haul journey to get from “I wish I could” to “I just did”, there will be a point where you pause, look back and reflect on your accomplishments. And when this heart-warming moment of realisation happens, you can’t help but burst with pride at achieving the impossible and helping others in the process.

Of course, there’s never really an end when it comes to helping others and making a difference. As sad as it is, there will always be someone in need, and they will never deserve the hardship they face.

Whether it is supporting orphans, rebuilding the world’s most in-need regions, or educating and aiding communities when it comes to safe, eco-friendly and sustainable sources of food, energy or water; there will always be some way in which to make a difference.

So look around you. Are you where you want to be? Have you made the difference you know you’re capable of?
