Saving the World

Kony 2012

"We didn't have all the answers, we just knew we had to do something"

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” -Mother Teresa 

Finding Meaning

“i hope you come to find that which gives life a deep meaning for you. something worth living for, maybe even worth dying for. something that energizes you, enthuses you, enables you to keep moving ahead. i can't tell you what it might be, that's for you to find, to choose, to love. i can just encourage you to start looking & support you in the search."

Your Job...

Your job today is to change the world, and to do it in your own special way. Your job today is to move the world closer to the best it can be by pushing yourself toward the best you can be.

The world will be different at the end of the day because of the way you have lived. The world will change during the day because of the thoughts you have focused upon and the actions you have taken.

There is no one else who can do your job for you. There is no one else who can give to life the unique value that you’re able to give.

It is an awesome responsibility and a magnificent opportunity. For the more you give yourself, the more life will resemble the best vision you have for it.

That is your job today, to give the best of what you have and to truly make life better for the effort. Do that job well, and the rewards will be rich indeed.

Ralph Marston

The sun is still shinning above the clouds.

but, and, and most importantly.

You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These Are Some Good Times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

but

Thus says the LORD:
Remember not the events of the past,
the things of long ago consider not;
see, I am doing something new!

and

“life is a great & wondrous mystery, & the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. don’t miss it.”

and, most importantly,

"just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly."
