Inspire Your Children to Change the World
O
ur lives have become so fast-paced that we don’t take the time to reflect on how fortunate we are. Even simple things like clean drinking water and fresh air become just a “given”. If we could just slow down and look, we would see the beauty and plenty that surround us every day and realize we have so much, while countless others are faced with tragedy and/or forced to struggle for survival. It has become apparent we need to share with others so everyone can feel the fortune. Catherine Ryan Hyde understood that when she started the ”Pay it Forward” moment, encouraging and challenging all of us to perform random acts of kindness. We believe, as Margret Mead did, “one selfless act can change the world”.
We have all been in a situation when we either don’t know what to get someone or the gift received isn’t exactly what we wanted. Sadly, we can’t enjoy the message of the gift because we are wrapped up in the gift itself. Why not have both the person who gives the gift and the recipient share in giving of themselves with one who will truly be thankful. Teaching our children the value behind appreciation, sharing and empathy changes how they see themselves. They develop a sense of pride in helping others and their own self esteem grows. Feeling loved and appreciated, they grow to be better people. Children are the future and we need to show them that not everyone has a cupboard full of food, a warm bed to sleep in, and a closet full of clothes. We have the obligation to teach our children that they can be the change they want to see in their own lives and communities. We believe we can start with one birthday at a time. Forward Sharing Ltd.
