Do you ever sit back and think about what it would be like to live with half the things you do now? For instance, without your phone, without a handful of good friends or even without a roof over your head. All of the world there are people living in poverty. There is no light at the end of the tunnel for them, or at least they think.
I want to change the world.
– Start with one act of random kindness a day and you will be on your road to achieving a positive change in the world.
Someone once said to me how it’s not about giving to get, and rightly so, but quite often in return for happiness and all round abundance we do need to offer a service – or in other words – give something back. The world seems to materialistically driven now and technology has certainly emphasised this rapid change in the new paradigm. More than likely you have seen people on the trains or walking down the street with a tunnel vision, oblivious of the world around them. They don’t stop for a moment to take everything in, nor half the time do they recognise the company in which they are serving and fail to take full account of it. Is this living? Are we forgetting what it feels like to actually feel and connect with people in the way that humanity should?
Most things seem to come to an end, and although it can be hard to accept it is something that is out of our control most of the time. This is where the point is raised to not take things for granted and appreciate what’s in front if you whilst it’s there. Embrace it, laugh until your stomach hurts, take pictures (after capturing the moment with your eyes) and surround yourself with the things and people you love.
We don’t always see even if we look.
In the news recently there has been so many disasters occurring all over the world, from the turmoil crisis in Ukraine to the sinking ship in Korea to the missing Malaysian plane.
Lives are being lost all over the world, unreasonably, breaking up families, tearing hearts and shattering what could have been abundant, happy futures. There is no justice for that, and so don’t you think we shouldn’t take for granted all the things that enable us to live a safe and comfortable life?
You never know what tomorrow may bring.
