Sentiment Sunday

This week we want to focus on helping others, corny sounding? Maybe. But a lot of times we are so consumed with trying to reach our own success that we forget to make a difference in the world. "If you can't feed one hundred people, then feed just one." ~Mother Teresa. As individuals, we sometimes think that we cannot change the world by doing small things, but we can, as Mother Teresa stated, if you can't feed a hundred, just feed one, meaning, that help is help, in all forms, you are making a change in the world!! Next time you have left overs from a dinner, give the meal to a homeless person, or donate supplies or your time to an animal shelter. The love you share will change lives.


"How wonderful is it that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." ~ Anne Frank. At times, we dream HUGE dreams yet forget the little voices that speak, "smile, open the door for another, let the car merge in front of you." These little tasks, everyday help others. "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." ~William James. Everything you do to help another does make a difference. Never be afraid to lend a helping hand. The hardest thing is usually starting a project, but once you bite the bullet and volunteer, or make a donation, you will be more inclined to do it again! 


"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can." ~ Edward Everett Hale. Never forget that you can and will make a difference in the world if you just try! Make sure to keep others in mind this week and donate your time, money, or supplies to those in need. Whether it be homeless people, animals, or a local charity. Even just helping out a  neighbor is a great step in the right direction!!


Check in tomorrow for Manic Monday. . I bet you used to sneak out of your house and think nothing of it. . well so did this girl. . . until. . . .
