A Deliberate Soliloquy by Jadelise Garrett

To change or not to change: that is the question.

The answer lies not in grand gestures or lofty ambitions,

but in the quiet resolve of the human spirit.

It lies in the simple act of kindness

in the willingness to extend a helping hand to those in need. 

It lies in the courage to speak out against injustice,

even when odds seem insurmountable.

For every ripple we create, no matter how small, 

has the power to spread across the vast ocean of humanity 

touching the lives of countless others in ways we may never fully comprehend. 

So let us not be deterred by the enormity of the task, but feel solace in the knowledge 

that change begins with a simple step; 

a step fueled by passion

driven by purpose 

and guided by the unwavering belief that a better world is not only possible

but inevitable.
