What if the world really wanted to work together, to stop trafficking, poverty, hunger, other things that people go without every day that are killing them? I think more now than ever this world needs every person in it to step up to the plate and give to everyone else around them who are in need. I know, we think, I’m just one person, what can I do for all of them? It all starts out small.

What if we stepped out and took someone’s hand and took the time to show them the way to a better life? I’m not talking religion, just taking the time to care enough to help them in the right direction. A new job to get what they need, a makeover even, and the tools to keep up, so that maybe they can take pride in themselves like they never have before. Indulge in someone else’s dream and help them live it. Or just let them know that they matter, or what they are trying to do isn’t insane, that they’ll get to where they need to be one day.

What if we all cared about the whole world instead of what we see out our window everyday? The world needs our help, everyone needs someone’s help whether they want to admit it or not. Everyone has holes that need filling.

We are the next generation. We can change the world. In this economy, anything can happen. We can make our voices heard, and the innovative brains out there can help us solve the problems if we take the time to listen. The voices are crying out to us, they do not stop because we don’t listen.

Our time is now.


The song I'm listening to was the fuel behind this journal. Check it out. He sounds like Josh Groban and he's a new artist. you can find it on Amazon.com but here are the lyrics if you can't find the song.

Let Love Win by Daniel Kirkley

Sometimes
I look way up at the starlight
I wonder how things got turned around
And whether all that's lost
Will all be found

Lately
I think the world has gone crazy
How did we all get so far away
From letting love write the pages of our lives
I'm praying tonight

Chorus
That every man has bread
And every child a bed
That those of us who have enough
Might find it hard to rest
Until every hand is held
A lovesick world, made well
Oh God, begin with me
An instrument of peace
Let love win... Amen

There are moments
I wish I'd find my heart broken
Tasting the tears of the suffering who
Must surely know much more of you than I
I'm praying tonight

Chorus

Maybe it's too much to ask
Maybe it's not nearly enough
Maybe the light of the world
Can hear the prayer of just one...
And I'm only one...

Bring hatred to it's knees
Let love be all we need
Oh God begin with me
An instrument of peace
let love win... amen...
