“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” ~Mother Teresa
Everything you do already makes a difference in the world—for better or for worse. As the saying goes, “no man (or woman) is an island.” We are all intimately, intricately, and irrevocably interconnected.
Every single action you take has an effect. Just like an earthquake off the coast of Chile can trigger a tidal wave throughout the entire Pacific Rim, your actions can impact all of humanity.
There’s no doubt about it – you are powerful.
I know you care and want to make a positive difference in the world. You probably already have a jumpstart on doing just that given all the recurring crisis’ in the world like the oil spill. Or maybe you have the aspiration, but aren’t sure where to begin or what could really make a difference because, frankly, the task may seem overwhelming. With a busy life, you might just need some simple ideas to get you off the ground.
Whatever the case, Raam Dev’s fresh-off-the press free ebook called Small Ways to Make a Big Difference is a rich resource of simple, 
actionable ideas to get you started or add to your momentum. It is a treasury of more than 100 simple ways you can make an impact on the world, each and everyday, offered by over 40 bloggers.
What motivated Raam to organize this ebook?
Raam left his IT career to travel the world and discover himself.
Instead, he discovered an entire planet that needed help, experiencing firsthand the poverty and suffering of India, Vietnam, and Nepal. His first four months of traveling as a nomad profoundly changed his sense of purpose and direction in life.
At first he felt frustrated and overwhelmed. He spent long periods of time contemplating how he could help those in need. This ebook was born from his despair, which he transformed into positive action. He sees the ebook as a first step on a lifelong journey to continue making a difference.

Hey Sandra! Thanks so much for the awesome introduction to this ebook!
I loved your words about how the entire ocean is created from tiny drops of water, all collected together. What an incredible metaphor for the way each of our individual actions has a positive affect on the rest of the planet!
Hey Raam, My pleasure! I’m am so excited by the ideas in your ebook, Small Ways to Make a Big Difference. I hope zillions of copies will find their way all over the world. The ocean metaphor I find is a good way of illustrating that our contributions – though they may seem small – do indeed make a difference.
Hi Sandra! Definitively, this post is a valuable information. In my personal perspective, I always say to myself: ” it’s not about possibilities, it’s about the extraordinary things that I can do in this world, it’s about to make a difference.” Like you wrote, “Every single action you take has an effect” that is a reality; and I hope that the effects that I provoke will be of profit to me, and the others.
Hi Viviana, You are such an inspiration. I love the vigor and enthusiasm you apply to life and your flare for beauty. I know you do make a difference to others! Thanks for your comment.
Hi Sandra,
What a beautiful, tranquil and serene site you have.
You wrote about a lovely post about Raam and his book. I’m honored to be among those in your company in the book. I feel each of us radiates our own special aura of healing and everyone we meet is touched by that aura. I choose to light the flame in every person I touch in the hopes that they will then spread the light to others. Eventually, we can and will light up the world!
Angela, Thank you for your kind words. I’m so happy to meet you through collaborating on Raam’s ebook. I’m very inspired by your vision of lighting up the world! I appreciate your sensitivity to how our beings operate on the subtle level. Sending you some warm waves of joy! Thank you for commenting.
