“The notion of looking on at life has always been hateful to me. What am I if I am not a participant? In order to be, I must participate.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Do you sit on the side lines and watch life simply pass you by?
Too afraid or too stubborn to become an active participant in all that happens?
Maybe the idea of becoming involved overwhelms you?
There are many reasons one may have for engaging (or not) in the lives of others and in the peculiar things that go on around us. It is sad to me if you don't take part. There is so much you have to give to others that know you and to others you don't even know yet. There will be times when you speak out on a subject or perform some random act that makes a difference in their lives.
What I'm talking about is 100% participation in life.
This doesn't have to be large impactful things. It could be in many small ways, in the little things you can do everyday. Opening the door for someone that is struggling, voicing an opinion to help someone decide, a big monetary tip to the waitress trying to raise two kids on her own, or maybe just listening.
Each of us can make a difference. So be a part of life. Be an impact on life.
Stay inspired my friends.
