“You can’t save the whole world”
I have heard those words often. And maybe you recognize them too.
But you know what? You don’t have to. Because imagine if every person helped another person. With something small. A meal. A glass of clean drinking water. A safe place. A listening ear. Then the world changes. Every day, a little bit.
In the beginning, I sometimes felt discouraged by such remarks: “There are already so many foundations“, “You won’t achieve anything with it“, and “You’d better just focus on your own country“.
But deep down, I knew: this is a calling. A voice that says: go ahead. Do it anyway. And today, I see what happens when you follow your inner voice. BOOST The World Foundation started small, messy, with trial and error. It was not an easy start. But we kept going. And slowly it grew, stronger, more impactful. Now we see results that change lives:
- Healthy food on a plate that otherwise would not have been there
- Drinking water that gives hope and saves lives
- A safe place where people come together, grow, and laugh.
For you, perhaps, self-evident. For many, a miracle.
Heart-centered leadership
All this begins with heart-centered leadership: living and leading from your heart.
Not from fear or lack, but from trust and connection.
Because when you truly live from your heart, you naturally become a good person for those around you. Your neighbor who feels seen. Your colleague who gets a listening ear. A student who learns how to stay closer to their own heart.
Helping one person can create a ripple that touches dozens of others. This is how a chain reaction of love and impact arises.
Your role
That is why my call to you today is: choose where you will make a difference.
- Perhaps by becoming a volunteer at our foundation here in the Netherlands, where you can directly impact multiple lives
- Perhaps by extending a helping hand to someone in your own street or village
- Or simply by living more from your heart yourself, so that your children, friends, and colleagues take that energy with them.
We provide training to students to make them aware of that connection with their heart. Because a new generation that lives from love and awareness has the power to truly change the world.
And it doesn’t start far away. It starts today. Right here. With me. With YOU!
So… what difference are you going to make today?
With love, Rosanne van Zalingen
