The mathematics of influence isn't linear, when that unknown first responder ran toward danger rather than away, they couldn't possibly have calculated how far their actions would resonate, They just did what they knew to do to help.
This isn't about heroics or fame. Most world-changing actions never make headlines. They're quiet choices made at kitchen tables, in classrooms, at community meetings. It's ordinary people making extraordinary decisions to stand, speak, act, or simply show up differently.
The difference one person makes isn't measured by immediate outcomes, but by how their actions shift what others believe is possible or permissible. That's the true miracle of individual impact; it never remains individual for long.
What you do, what I do, matters. That’s how we create hope and create better tomorrow’s.
