Why Not Start a Revolution?

Four years ago today, on Oct. 7, a guy in my brother club lost his brother to a car accident. I did not know him personally, but I hear he was a very Godly man who always served and gave. His family made today a day of kindness in his memory. I thought a good way to remember him would be to write my article about acts of kindness. I am doing this with the hope that I can make acts of kindness grow.

Today in our world, life is very crime-driven. People always talk about the latest crime that happened. There is nothing but sadness everywhere we turn. We do not hear about the goodness of God, only the bad things Satan does. I believe God did not intend for the world to be this way. I personally struggle with being a positive person in the very negative and crime-driven world. Every day something else is happening; tragedies are happening everywhere.

Why not start a revolution of great things? Why not, instead of posting about crimes or a negative world post, a compliment to someone going through a hard time? Why not buy a coffee or candy bar for someone having a bad day or even just the person in front of you?

I propose these questions to you as a challenge. A challenge for everyday life, a challenge that can make a difference in our world. We are the people who can make a difference. Every day, every hour, every second we are here on this earth we can make a difference. A smile on your face can lead to a smile on everyone's face. A joke or a hug can make someone's day. Giving an extra dollar tip can be the difference in that person or family eating. So why not make a difference? Why not start a revolution?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
