It's Only 3 Feet.
What needs to be done about the growing homeless situation in America?
The problem is serious, and the solutions are just as complex. As the former CEO of a rescue mission, I continue to be asked by well-intentioned people, “What can I do to tackle such a big issue?” Here is my simple answer: You can't fix it, so don’t try. That’s right. You can’t fix it, so don’t think you can. Instead, just start with being a positive influence in the 3 feet around you all day long. It sounds easy, but it takes intention, willpower, grace, and practice. You will struggle, forget, remember, do better, forget, remember, do a little better in an ever-expanding circle of 3 feet. How does the 3 feet expand?
Bishop Desmond Tutu said it best: "Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world."
