Hello, I am Abraham Lincoln:
I wish to share a guiding principle of mine:
"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion."
In my time, this simple belief served as a moral compass during one of the most trying periods in our nation’s history—the Civil War. It reminded me that doing good isn’t just about grand speeches or monumental decisions but about daily actions that reflect kindness, integrity, and the values that bind us as a people.
Today, while the battlefields may look different, the challenges remain profound. We now find ourselves in a war of information—where truth itself is under attack, trust is eroded, and misinformation divides us.
In this digital age, doing good takes on new meaning. It means seeking the truth with vigilance, questioning what we read or share, and choosing understanding over division. It means refusing to spread falsehoods, rejecting hatred, and standing for honesty, even when it’s inconvenient.
As I said in my time, "The best way to predict your future is to create it." Let us create a future where truth prevails, trust is restored, and we act with goodness in our hearts. Every small action you take—choosing kindness, sharing accurate information, or listening to differing perspectives—contributes to the greater good.
The question is not whether you can make a difference but whether you will. What will you choose today?
