Take Action

For most of us, we'd like to save the world if we could. There are so many problems even within our own neighborhood: hunger, homelessness, and poverty. Reading the newspaper and going on the internet, we see that the problems are surmounting. Knowing this, we get caught up in the enormity of the problem that we feel helpless and overwhelmed. Sometimes the only way we can cope is to put blame on others. "Who's fault is it?"  "Who is going to fix this mess?" By doing this, we forget that the child who is hungry and the family who is homeless doesn't care about who's fault it is or who is going to fix their situation. If we stop talking and take action, we can help those in need. Today, talk less and do more. Get up and do something for someone else. The universe gives us opportunities everyday to make a difference!

 There are blue skies beyond the tangles of life...
