Waiting On The World To Change

Are you waiting on the world to change? Are you waiting for things to happen instead of making them happen? If you are, then I have news for you… You are letting life pass you by, and pretty soon, life will have passed you by. I’m not only talking about opportunities for your own self, but what about the things that are happening around you for which you can make a difference.

Have you considered adoption? Are you going to attend the 3 day walk? Do you lend your time mentoring a child? What are you doing to help the world? Do you think it will change as you sit back and watch?

When I ask you about change, I want you to think deeply and profoundly, and know that whatever it is that you decide, it is something, and that is always better than nothing.

[…] It’s just another Friday night, rushing home to catch the 20/20 special by Diane Sawyer titled “Waiting on The World To Change”. Yes, you’re probably wondering if this is just a coincidence that I wrote about this very topic just yesterday. But, it’s been on my mind since early this week. […]

i saw this show and i was so shocked that camden, NJ could exist in a first world country.

i join you in wanting to make a difference in the world, no matter how small, but preferably a remarkably relevant one. and i believe in the power of one, in the power of cooperation, in the power of mass consciousness that will one day tip the scale.

i was blessed to finally start a small book drive:

and i am collecting other people’s stories that inspire:

Minotte, thank you for the wonderful web finds, global volunteers is a very worthy cause and I am always touched whenever I hear a mention of that organization. Time permitting, I hope to briefly join and help..

And yes, The Camden story was truly powerful and eye opening. I have tried to find a copy on Itunes, but the episode isn’t available. if you have a copy, would you consider sending it to me (Cathy at http://nancydrewandme.blogspot.com/) is requesting a copy, she lives in The Philippines, and unfortunately it isn’t syndicated over there.
