I’m a big fan of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. One of the underlying questions is how time traveler Claire is affecting the course of history. When she uses her 20th century medical doctor skills on 18th century people, how might it change the trajectory of future generations? It’s an interesting mystery that may never be solved.
There are times when I wonder how I am impacting the world for good – especially in the face of such immense situations on our planet. When I recently read Rob Brezsny’s words about this, I felt compelled to share them. If you’re reading this, you also likely have some thoughts about this:
“A thousand years from today, everyone you know will be long dead and forgotten. There’ll be nothing left of the life you love, no evidence that you ever walked this planet. That, at least, is what the fundamentalist materialists would have you believe. But suppose the truth is very different? What if in fact every little thing you do subtly alters the course of world history?
What if your day-to-day decisions will actually help determine how the human species navigates its way through the epic turning point we’re living through?”
I sense more and more how we’re at a turning point in our life on earth. That’s why your life and your work are more important than ever.
Though you may not always see an immediate impact, this super potent time supports even small acts of love – which includes compassion for YOURSELF. This allows you to be more present and connected. These are potent seeds that we can plant every day.
Let’s keep the conversation going
Are you a fan of the Outlander series (books or TV)? Have you ever wondered about your impact on future generations? I’d love to hear – what’s one loving or compassionate thing you’re doing for yourself or someone else these days? Share in the comments.

I love this reflection and framing of our actions. For me it resonates fully and fits into the story of the Universe from the big-bang with this big soup of undifferentiated matter evolving to among other wonders to the complexe and diverse life we witness on earth.
Everything we see today is the result of so many tiny events adding up.
So it is of the future.
