I Can’t Solve Global Warming Alone — But I’m Doing My Part

Mo Gawdat ( just in case you don’t know who he is #onebillionhappy) said it best:

*“Engage only if you can do something about it.”*

When it comes to massive challenges like global warming and deforestation, it’s easy to feel powerless. But here’s the truth — **small actions add up**.

On my Moringa farm, I’m planting trees that grow fast, resist drought, and absorb carbon dioxide up to 20 times more than other trees. Each Moringa seedling fights soil erosion, restores land, and helps communities thrive with nutrition and income. This isn’t just farming — it’s a frontline battle against climate change.

I’m one of many, but together we create a movement. Every leaf harvested, every tree planted, every family empowered is a step toward healing our planet. If you think your small action doesn’t matter, remember: even the mightiest forest starts with a single seed.

So yes, I’m doing something. And so can you.

Key Takeaways

1. Happiness is a Choice and a Formula

Happiness = Your Perception of Events – Your Expectations.

By managing how you perceive events and adjusting unrealistic expectations, you can increase your happiness.

2. Recognize and Overcome Mental Illusions

The mind tricks us with illusions like control, fear, and time. Becoming aware of these helps reduce unnecessary suffering.

3. Accept Life’s Ultimate Truths

Accept impermanence, uncertainty, and interconnectedness to find peace and reduce resistance to reality.

4. Practice Mindfulness and Gratitude

Being present in the moment and appreciating what you have rewires your brain toward happiness.

5. Reframe Negative Thoughts

Challenge and change limiting beliefs and assumptions to create a more positive mental environment.

Highlight: Being in Nature as a Path to Happiness

Mo Gawdat emphasizes that being in nature reconnects us with the fundamental truths of life and helps dissolve the illusions created by our busy minds. Nature’s rhythms—its cycles of growth, decay, renewal—remind us of impermanence and interconnectedness, grounding us in the present moment.

Spending time outdoors, observing trees, water, and wildlife, helps quiet mental noise and fosters a deep sense of peace and belonging. This connection to the natural world nurtures mindfulness and gratitude, two pillars of lasting happiness.

In essence, nature acts as a powerful, natural reset button for the mind, bringing clarity, calm, and joy—reminding us that happiness isn’t something to chase but something to be.
