One Click: We Can Save the World
by "We must be the change we wish to see in the world." – Mahatma Gandhi.
Everyday we have control over every choice we make. Do you opt to fill your mind with current news affairs, the latest fashion trends, and other such media driven updates? Or do you prefer historical, fictional, or interpersonal avenues to spend the majority of your time focused on?
Successful motivating key figures all seem to agree that everything is important, from who your surround yourself with to what you read, to your favorite music picks, to how you exercise and satiate your daily appetite. These choices all directly and indirectly affect your moment to moment sense of well-being as well as your overall quality of life. Every single choice can help to promote your longevity, enhance your mental clarity and peace of mind so that you are able to not only enjoy life to the fullest extent, but also work at your top capacity toward creating every artistic, entrepreneurial, etc. reflection your heart desires and is capable of producing.
Thus, utilizing and finding every means possible that will lift your spirit higher and freer will not only greatly benefit your life, but it will inadvertently do so for others; your work, your words, your presence makes a difference to other people’s lives. People are keenly observant. From childhood we learn how to behave, speak, etc. through watching and imitating behavior around us. We are social beings. Studies have shown that untouched babies will not thrive like those that are. Plants that are nurtured and spoken to, flourish. These are coincidences and miracles by their own right. Thus, if we want a particular change to take place in the world:
“We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi.
It is as simple, and complex as that.
Everyday, I do my very best to find new ways to lift my spirit higher, I do this both for myself and for the benefit of others. I truly believe that there is no way to separate bettering your life from bettering the lives of others. As you treat yourself with greater care, so too do you do so to others. We can only treat others as well as we treat ourselves. It is a circle. It is a wonder. This is the intrinsic beauty of life.

Yeah, that’s good. I receive e-mail messages about somebody who was ill and for every person that I forward, I’ll raise a few cents for him. I always doubt the how this works. Is this true for e-mails also?
