Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

Don't just do something, sit there.
"With all this socially engaged work, first you must learn what the Buddha learned, to still the mind. then you don't take action, action takes you." Thich Nhat Hanh, a famous Buddhist Monk/Teacher who was exiled from Vietnam in the 1960's for his nonviolent peace activities.
