UNLESS

Unless
someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.  It’s not.
                                                                          The Lorax

      The words of the Lorax make good sense when it comes to you making changes for the better.  In the story, the Lorax called for the businessman to be responsible with nature but my challenge is to be responsible with life.  Your life!!   It is quite frequent that most people facing a life challenge will not make the necessary changes UNLESS things become critical.   It really doesn’t have to get critical for you to make changes in the world, it takes passion.   Turning passion into performance can make a real difference in the  world around you.  This reminds me of a great quote I read,
     “The richer, the wiser, the more powerful a man is the greater is the
       obligation upon him to employ his gifts in the lessening of the
       sum of Human misery.”    John Randolph

Just like the Lorax warned the businessman in the story, John Randolph informs us that our control over some type of resources or power obligates us to use that gift to better the world around us. 
As a care giver, you are entrusted with the well-being of another human being, which is a monumental task in our day.  The gift you have been given is a powerful testimony of the grace in our world.  Making good use of that gift calls for your diligence, love and persistence to offer it well to those who need it most. 
May God bless you in caring for another person in support of their life to find worth in our world today.
