I often hear people say, "I would love to get involved, but I just don't know how."
Getting involved is easy, staying involved is the hard part. It takes committment, time and money. I can promise that the more you give, the more you get involved, the easier it will be to stay involved.
At the beginning of this journey I had to look for gifts and some days it was harder than others. Now opportunities to give are constantly presenting themselves to me and I have the CHOICE to give or to ignore a need. When ignoring the need becomes difficult I think this is when true change starts to take place inside ourself.
We are selfish people, in today's society I feel it is often about what is best for ME, how can I help ME, how does it affect ME? When we stop thinking about ourselves and start thinking about how we can help others is when we start to make a difference and change the world, one person at a time.
