Dear all of us,
What do you do when you recognize that there is a problem that needs to be fixed? Do you sit by? Do you hope someone else will take care of it?
Or do you get up and do something about it?
I have a question today. Well, I have questions everyday….. I should rephrase that. I have many questions today.
If you see something that you think is wrong, do you do something about it? If there is some injustice going on, do you let it continue or so you speak up?
If you let it continue-
Why do you let it continue? If you see something is not right, how do you sit by and not try to change things for the better? What will it take for you to get involved?
If you get involved-
Why did you get involved? What motivated you to put away your fears or your worries? What made you get off the couch, get out from behind the screen to actually get up and get involved?
If you see something that you think is unjust, don't just sit there! Get up!
You might say-"Well, that's easy for her to say!"
Well, no it's not! It is so hard for me to be confrontational. I am an introvert. I am shy. I am not confrontational.
However, the older that I get, the more I can not just sit by and watch things happen. If I feel that something is unfair, I am going to speak up. I am going to speak up for those that can not speak up for themselves. Namely, children.
We are the best advocates that a child can have. They need someone to be their voice when no one will listen to them.
Do it today! What is it in the world that is bothering you? What do you want to see changed?
Everyone thinks that the other guy will get up and do something about it. This is not necessarily so. Stop sitting around waiting for change. It's not coming. Be the change.
Will you be the change?
"Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have."-Margaret Mead
