Each of us
has the ability to influence what
happens in our world.? We are neither
helpless nor powerless to make a difference.?
Each of our actions improves or reduces the amount of good in society.? Today is a day for empowering people to do their best.?
Our actions count.? If we take
responsibility for what goes on and push things in positive directions, we will
see better results.? Youth are facing
some critical situations: poverty, drug use, bullying,
teen driving crashes.? The power of one
voice, one action, could change these problems and save lives.? We need leaders.?
????? Growing up is often a search for confidence and capability. ?None of us
is perfect.? It is our imperfections that
disappoint us.? But those are the things
that push us to improve.? We need to
embrace the moment and work to improve.?
No one gets better without dedication and genuine commitment.? Sometimes we don?t give our best effort.? You don?t get somethin?
for nothin?.
???? People tend to place "freedom to be
yourself" as the ultimate personal value.?
Sometimes, we have the feeling that the best world would be one with
no restrictions, rules or
demands.? We often equate "fun"
with "less responsibility."?
Showing restraint, respecting certain
limits, protects us from making foolish mistakes.? We can all make assumptions that prove to be
wrong.
???? Permitting your friends to slide on
accountability is not friendship.? Allowing
people to hurt themselves is not a sign of support.? Many people feel invincible.? Love means
providing positive leadership, giving people a clearer sense of
direction, even if they have trouble accepting it.? With crisis building in alcohol and other
drugs, suicide and teen driving deaths, your intervention may save a life.? A good friend will know when to back off and
when to stay absolutely firm.?
???? Youth today are facing critical problems
due to the neglect of past generations.? Past
leaders have too often let situations reach a "critical stage.? It takes so much energy and pain to come back
from painful disasters.? For our ultimate
good, we must postpone some impulses or sacrifice on some choices,
knowing that personal suffering can be self-created.? Making good decisions is a lifetime pattern
worth building.?
???? We are drifting towards becoming inactive citizens.? In a Facebook/You
Tube world, we can get locked into ?watching? reality vs. ?changing? it.? We need to be proactive and get
involved.?
???? We
need to be bold and come up with new ways of solving old problems?be creative!? It is time for a new generation of leaders
who care more about being servants
than being celebrities.?
We can shape our world instead of
watch it self-destruct.? It is time that
we realize our importance and
start pushing for greater
excellence.? First, build your own
strengths.? Take responsibility for YOU.
Then, look to improve your
community.? If we fail to heed
"warning signs," we eventually have to deal
with "disasters."? The voices in our world that speak up for shared
prosperity, safety and respect are
valuable.?
Instead of letting things go, speak up and make it tough for people to
make tragic choices.?
Don?t stand on the sidelines waiting
for a rescuer.? Be that rescuer, TAKE THE
LEAD!?
