Power of One

Funny how things happen. This morning I thought a good blog would be about the Power of One. Today at the beach a couple of people came to mind that recently have reminded me about the Power of One. On our walk home this evening from a perfectly gorgeous day at the beach, I noticed a man with a tee-shirt on with the words across the front in bold print, The Power of One. So I know, my blog tonight was meant to be the Power of One. I've always believed in the Power of One. I mean how could anybody brought up in a Christain household as a child, going to Sunday school and church, not believe in the Power of One. So what does the Power of One mean to me. It means having the strength and faith to stand up for what you know is right, even if you are all alone. The Power of One can be a lonely place and many times you aren't real popular. Some have even been crucified for their beliefs and standing up for them. I admire those who stand up for the right thing and obviously believe in the Power of One. Recently, a parent at school took a stand and basically took on the powers that be by herself. I admire her. We all should. So what could the Power of One mean. First a much better world for all of us.  Think if all of us took it upon ourselves to be the Power of One for ourselves, our families, our neighborhoods, our schools, our communities etc. If we all became compelled to stand up for the right things and not back down.  The impact that the Power of One could make on society if we all just took one non-relative under our wing and and helped them to improve their life. One million people helping another million people. The Power of One is a pretty simple concept and all you have to worry about is what you are going to do. There is no one to point fingers at or blame if something doesn't get done. So are you thinking about where you could start?  Be the Power of One with your own family, your spouse, children, and parents. Be the Power of One at your children's school, place of worship, neighborhood park, or workplace. Volunteer an hour a week. Clean out your home and donate. Help someone else. You don't have to help a million people, just one. If everyone just helped one person and passed it on. That would become the Power of One.
