Today we live in a world full of hate and darkness. People refuse to open their eyes to the world around us. My dream is not just for world peace- but for a world of people with opened eyes and souls; because once we open our eyes, we can begin to change the world.

Gandhi once said, "Be the change in this world that you want to see."

William Shakespeare said, "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."

My life's mission is to be one of the small steps toward change.... to be one of the smiling faces toward peace... to make a global impact.

If you have a cause, fight for it. If you care, show it. Human kind should no longer sit back and "watch"... but get up and get something done.

Our animals are dying off... people are being senselessly killed in genocides... children are starving... healthcare is becoming impossible... our environment is growing unstable...

The world must be changed.

In order for that to happen, however, it's time people wake up.

Today's Video:

Today's video is "What I've Done" by Linkin Park.

If you watch it, or know the song, play close attention. It has a strong message behind it.

Have a blessed week.
