Making the world a better place has always been my aspirations in life. It hurts me so badly, seeing the horrible things we humans do to each other in the name of power, religion, politics and so on.
Affecting your world doesn't necessarily requires you becoming the next Bill Gate of America, Ma Huateng of China
or Dangote of Nigeria,
it's doesn't require you having one million dollars in your bank account or assets worth billions of dollars,
it doesn't require you becoming the next president of America, Nigeria, China o even the wold bank.
it doesn't require you becoming the next religious leader of your faith weather Christianity, Islam, Buddhism o Hindus,
you even don't need to be a high profiled individual to make a difference in this world, all it requires is the will, the heart and the passion to elevate and make something out of the the human race.
In the words of Michael Jackson, in his award winning song, " heal the world" he said " make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race there are people dying" this particular line alone resonates with me because that's the key to changing the world. If all individual could key in to the lyrics of that song with understanding and emotion we are sure going to make a difference in the long run.
The world is currently going through hards times,
Nearly 1/2 of the world's population — more than 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day. More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty — less than $1.25 a day. 1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty.
According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty.
undernutrition, translating into the loss of about 3 million young lives a year. Undernutrition puts children at greater risk of dying from common infections, increases the frequency and severity of such infections, and delays recovery.
War and social unrest are prevalent in today's world leading to loss of life and properties
The key to healing the world starts from you and I.
We can affect the world in the following ways.
We can start by giving food to those who genuinely need them,
we can start by giving away those cloths, shoes and stuffs we are no longer using,
we can start by volunteering for a community work,
we can start by blessing others,
we can start by revealing to others their potentials,
we can start by going to other favorite charity, we can start by saying no to No to corrupts acts,
we can start by being good to others irrespective of their religion, cultural and political affiliation.
We can not touch every human on the surface of the earth but we can do our best, because this healing is one that is required by all individual, with passion and joy for the growth and development of the human race.
The best way is to start is from our immediate environment,
if me in Nigeria ( Africa) is playing my role and you in Asia, Caribbean, Europe and other parts of the world are equally playing your role on healing the world, then you can imagine how different our world will be.
I think we can, if we decide, you don't need the billions, mansions and materialistic stuffs to be prepared just start where you are, with what you have as you progress down the line nature will provide the people, situation and circumstance that will help you in your quest for a better world.
The capacity to act lies in you, the ability to help lies in you, the potentials are already in you, what you presently need is to make the single big step which is ACTION.
