Start with “I” (simple solutions for positive change)

The universe has had it’s fair share of changes throughout the year. One example of change is often found in the daily cycle of sunrises followed by the casted darken shadows of a somber nightfall. Ever since the inception of the human existence we have continued to change and evolve. The point is change is inevitable. There are simple solutions to every problem that exist in the world. Often times, I hear people who grew up in loving two parent households criticize children and parents who grew up in abusive sometimes single parent households. Wouldn’t it be much easier to reach out to those families and try to fill that void?

Many of our scholars and working professionals who have achieved various levels of success condemn the unemployed, ex offenders, mis-educated, and poor.  Instead maybe they should consider reaching out to the least of these and making more efforts to restore the disenfranchised.  I would also like to say to our retired population full of skilled professionals and wise elders we need your service. Our youth, young adults, new parents, and newly weds could surely use your wisdom.

The truth is we don’t have to wait on a movement we can start a movement. If you think your community needs a particular social program or business, go ahead and start it or help someone else start it. Start with “I”!  I will start the program, I will create a better school, I will develop an economic improvement plan for my community, I will teach the young men in my community how to be men, I will get involved in my community, I will help my neighbor, I will adopt a school, I will feed the hungry, I will clothed the poor, I will teach the mis-educated, I will house the homeless, I will counsel the abused, and will start with me first.

We must be empathetic, compassionate, and responsible for the least of these. We must look at ourselves first and stop waiting for someone else to save the day. You where created to bring hope to a broken world and light to dark places.
