If You're Feeling Down, Think About the People Who Help Animals

One of the things I'm most grateful for is that there are so many people working to help animals, trying many different approaches, and working on different parts of the problem.

When I feel down about the state of things, or when I feel like we're not making progress, I think about all of those people. I think about everyone who has given their time and energy to help animals and to create a better world. And it lifts me up, knowing how many people care.

People like that are the hope of the future.

So when you are feeling down, think of the other people who care. Think about how many of them there are today, and how many more there are today than in the past, and how that number will only grow year after year. Realize you are not alone, and that we will get there, one day at a time.
