Ok, so your candidate didn't win, you're upset about the
results of the election, I get it. And just because your people didn't win
doesn't meant that your vote doesn't matter, lets be real, someone has to lose.
Guess what, take that energy and frustration and turn it into change. Get
involved in making the change you want to see in your community. If it really
matters that much then you will pull your self off of the couch, re-prioritize
and use your time, talent and efforts to do something other than spout about
your disappointment from the comfort of your FB page!
Seriously, how much time have you spent this year
volunteering and helping those that need it most? If you can write a check,
great, that is needed too but don't talk about it unless you're going to be
about it! And I mean how much genuine time have you spent trying to make your
community better?! Not just the required hours you have to fulfill to maintain
membership in an organization or because you are trying to get in
organizations! Great you host events where "a portion of the proceeds
benefit _________" but are you trying to increase the amount of proceeds
that benefit others and not just your bank account with each event? Can we at
least get a check presentation to see how much of our money is helping
whomever? ****Soap box….stepping down….*****
Miss me with all of this pity party foolishness right now!
If you are a parent, please be mindful of the dangerous example you are setting
with any apathetic comments about voting and the process. If you have children
who are old enough to understand and be engaged in the voting process, this is
the perfect life lesson in perseverance or as the saying goes "there being
more than one way to skin a cat" (which is so disgusting when you think
about the image). My son and I started doing our monthly service projects for
the simple reason of becoming involved in the changes and improvements we
wanted for our community. We didn't need
any one particular government party to be in office to do this, we didn't need
the approval of anyone accept the people we were trying to serve. What I DO
know, is that WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Each and every month regardless of the size
of our project, WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Join us in one of our monthly projects,
WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Come up with your own activities/projects to impact your
community so that you can say, WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE! To the over 200 people in
Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Charlotte and Raleigh that received new pillows and
pillow cases this year, WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE! For the over 100 patients undergoing
chemotherapy that will receive a Comfort Kit, WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE! For the
children that received some of the 250 pounds of peanut butter and graham
crackers from Tyler’ Birthday Service Project, WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE! What will you do so that you can say, WE MAKE
A DIFFERENCE?!?!
Yes, your vote is a powerful way to make change, but so are
your daily actions. Now more than ever is the time when YOU need to do something different for things to BE different! MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
