Awakening

Awakening


Each morning upon awakening
I'm offered the possibility
of changing and improving my life.

I can commit to helping others;
in general try to be a better
husband, father, worker, citizen.

This is the possibility; now
my challenge is to follow through and
make today an example for life.

This is a small step. I realize
that my influence is not
far reaching, but, it is a first step.

If everyone were to take that step
and try to enrich the lives of their
friends and contacts we could change the world.

As Nelson Mandela expresses:
the consciousness of one person can
bring about global change for the good.

One drop of kindness in the pool of
humanity will cause a ripple
which can generate into a wave.

A wave of hope, of caring, of love
of sharing is all that is needed
to solve the problems of this planet.

We can end opression, starvation,
genocide and the ravages of
war and disease one step at a time.

Each morning upon awakening
we're given the opportunity
of changing and improving our world.

Lets take that opportunity and
run with it as hard, as fast and as
far as we can to make a difference.
