Solve World Problems
Today, our world is filled with problems that seem to never “get fixed”. They go on and on. Why is that? Are we not smart enough? Maybe we don’t care about helping others with devastating problems. What do we usually do? We throw money at the problem. Does that solve the problem? No, because some of the money never gets to the actual problem. Greed often stands in the way.
Instead of throwing money at the problem how about showing compassion and giving of yourself? As Gandhi said:
“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would
suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”
So, let’s give of ourselves, our love, our compassion and our brain power and solve some problems.
What can you and I do, right here, in our own community? What contacts do you have that can reach out to bigger problems worldwide? What effort can you organize and make a significant impact on? Food for “hotel kids” and others. Shoes and clothing for people laid off work. Train somehow for a new job. Teach English to an immigrant. Fix someone’s car who can’t afford it. Teach people how to grow their own food, even in the cities. Help and elderly person by mowing their lawn or fixing their house.
There are MANY more ideas you can start here, in your community or neighborhood that could be expanded across America.
Get your brain going, think about how you would feel in the other persons life. What would you like someone to help you with?
It’s time more INDIVIDUALS and BUSINESSES reach out to their communities and demonstrate COMPASSION for others less fortunate.
YOU and WE are capable of solving problems. Start NOW, right next door, around the block, across the railroad tracks, in the ghetto, under the freeway overpass, and everywhere else.
A compassionate life journey begins with the first footstep.
You can share this for positive purposes as you wish, but please show credit. I want to touch many more people, readers and can only do so with increased readership.
Thanks for stopping by today, John
