It Starts with Just ONE

I've said for years that I hate politics and, to a certain degree, that remains true. But I've also learned that in order to make a difference, politics have to be involved. Change rarely occurs without the involvement of politics on some level.

If you were to ask me what my greatest fear in life is, the answer might surprise you. I'm not afraid of poverty or war or an economic meltdown or even death. I'm afraid of failing to make a difference.

Making a difference starts right where we are and has a way of spreading.

I give props to those who have found ways to put feet to their plans and are making a difference on a global scale. Below is a video that demonstrates exactly that. I have been familiar with Invisible Children for several years now. You may have not heard of them but you have probably heard of Kony 2012. If you haven't actually watched the video, I encourage you to do so. It will only take about 30 minutes but it might make a huge difference, depending on what you choose to do after watching it. Change never happens overnight, it's gradual. You might be only one voice, but you have a voice. So use it!
