Falling Whistles.

This will take you 3 to 5 minutes max. Please take some time to explore this story. It will take you on a disturbing yet revealing journey.

After I went through the journey myself I found myself asking the question, "With so much going on in the world, what can I do? Which cause to give myself to? Which ones have priority which ones don't?" It's so messy out there and there are so many problems and frankly there will always be. But this is what I wrote in response to a statement similar to mine that a friend made.

"Phil, your comment inspired me a little. LOL. It is true that when we hear of these things we ask ourselves, "What can we do?" There is so much happening in the world and we see it in the news and newspapers. With so much wrong happening what can we do? We get the sense of "I want to ... Read Moresolve it all!" but then comes the overwhelming feeling, "It's too much, I can't really do anything"

With that, I believe, comes the misleading thought that what we do only counts when we do large-scale stuff like creating an organization or raising 30,000 dollars for Invisible Children, or rallying a whole country to help a child. Those things are enormous, but they all came through small efforts. Through small people. One good deed by someone no matter how small it may seem equals the large scale stuff that is going on. If people hadnt called, hadnt left one comment on Oprah's twitter for example, she wouldnt have come out to rescue (see http://therescue.invisiblechildren.com)...the people in chicago. I feel powerless sometimes and I feel that if I dont do something that big then I'm not doing anything. But the truth is, we can't single-handedly solve all the problems in the world or this problem. And we shouldnt be sad and think we are less just because we didnt do something as big as what others have done.

I am content with taking this link, posting it on my status. Writing about it in my blog and maybe sharing it with a friend. That's what I will do, today. The rest is up to God. He will bring the right oportunities in my life and who knows maybe it will turn into something great. But for now each of us can take one small step, one small action and though it may seem small in comparison to the bigger problem. It is something. And if we keep doing that small thing, change will come sooner than we think. :)

It's been a challenging thing, realizing this. But I believe more than ever now."

A discovery I made today. It's tough feeling small, but together we can all make a difference. I encourage you to do just that. Do something small, make it your status, share it with a friend. You can go even further and print the story and go out in the street and tell it to people! haha. You can put it up where you go to school or something. All if you can or if you feel the calling to.

I start today by doing this. Maybe I'll do more. But for now, the small that I do, will count. :)
