Be a good person


At every given moment the opportunity arises, the opportunity to be a good person; every situation provides you with a choice, the choice whether to champion one another and support others when required, the choice whether to better yourself by bettering others.

You may view your impact as minor, something so simple and quick. Yet this contribution works like a puzzle piece, it’s a contribution to the bigger picture. Imagine if this one simple action was global and popularly out taken by a percentage of the human race. Then adjust your perspective, your impact becomes augment. Pick an everyday action that’s out taken by a large amount of people, such as taking public transport. Imagine if just 10% of those riding it struck conversation with someone sat next to them, then suddenly it doubles in size, 20%. A simple yet friendly conversation allows the opportunity to be a good person; a person who cares about other people, who wants to listen and to effectively impact their day, be that person, the person to make a stranger smile. 

Be the person who wants to make every bodies day a fraction better.

Remember every action requires a reaction, a response that will determine the future. Whether that is an instant effect or a long term effect, making the choice to be kind will no doubt spur a positive response.

Senses

Breathe, take a step back and open your eyes; open your ears, open your soul and most importantly open your heart. Open your heart to possibilities, to yourself and to others. Don’t rush just consider, consider what’s important to you; consider what makes you, you. Look, gain a 360 degree perspective of yourself, your soul, your being and let it guide your actions and most importantly let it guide your vision. When you look forward what do you see? Do you see progression or do you see yourself stationary? Listen to the sound of your heartbeat beating in your chest when you experience true happiness, the rush of what it means to be alive. Allow yourself to listen to your own thoughts, to your own feelings and take action. Learn to listen to prioritise what’s important to you and your being. Smell so you can remember, scent is the most powerful memory trigger. Remember what it is that allows you to wake up in the morning, brush your teeth and put your shoes on to walk outside ...

Marcienne

I found myself when I found these people. I understood what it truly means to be human, to be connected and to love someone purely because of their existence. They’ve allowed me to wake up every single morning and ask myself what’s really important. From a country of complete conflict, hate, discrimination and violence where in the space of 100 days, one million people were violently slaughtered due to their ethnicity, I now see a country functioning on nothing but love, hope and respect for each other with the primary focus of creating a pathway to societal progress which fundamentally functions based on community. Four years ago I was fortunate enough to meet a 90 year old woman named Marcienne, who in 1994 witnessed the slaughter of five of her children and the love of her life. Along with thousands of people still living with the trauma of the genocide today, she has nothing but love to give. Imagine walking into a community to be greeted by groups of people just thankful for ...

The Jigsaw Puzzle

Learn to sit back and take a look at the bigger picture. The picture is made up of thousands of different pigments, different colours, different thoughts and different meanings. The ‘bigger picture’ is essentially creating a collage of individual and contrasting images that work inclusively to represent something bigger, your world. Essentially life is like a jigsaw puzzle, where each piece represents unique and meaningful factors that interlink and connect to one another in a constant network of emotions that link an individual’s values to their actions in parallel to their reactions. Understanding what is important in your life is imperative in guiding your actions, working as a connecting piece from your internal thoughts to your external responses maintaining a healthy equilibrium.   Your three dimensional being inclusive of your values, actions and reactions contribute to the jigsaw yet are not isolated in its making. If they say life is about the bigger picture than fa...
