The Power of ONE

I am not sure how I have not seen this movie until tonight (Freedom Writers). It further made me realize the impact of ONE. One person has the ability to change the course of so many lives.

One person who is willing to step outside of the lines of the status quo, one person who refuses to believe that people are incapable of change, one person who got others to see their sameness instead of their differences. One Person!

Our world is in need of people willing to be that One Person. We are a world currently that is so fixated on how we are different we have forgotten we all cry the same tears, we all bleed the same color blood, we all laugh in the same language and our hearts beat so we all can live another day.

Oh, to be able to be a person that can get that across to the world. To be able to encourage others to stand up and shine light on our sameness. We all laugh and cry and live and one day die. 

How do we choose to live this life we’ve been given? Do we choose to belittle, criticize and condemn or do we choose to promote, encourage and help guide? 

I’m my life I have seen seemingly good people become hateful creatures when things did not go as they had planned. I have seen people who profess the love of Christ, but then condemn, ridicule and gossip about others they do not see eye to eye with. This has got to stop! We all fall and we all make mistakes and we all are imperfect. 

It would be in our best interest to reflect a little more, dig a little deeper and Be the One to someone who will Be the One to someone else.

Stop being angry and spiteful and start being a person who gives others the gift of believing in themselves. Our world is not lacking in the critic our world is lacking in the encourager. 

I will end this with my personal mantra...I truly believe if we could all embrace this motto we would change the world.

“My desire in life is not to have my presence known, but to have my impact felt.”  D. Mahoney

Go and be an IMPACT!
