If you have a pulse, you have potential. Potential to start a revolution, potential to change lives, potential to outlive your life. 1.75 billion people are living in poverty, 1 billion are hungry, millions are trafficked into the sex trade, thousands undergo daily abuse, and every five minutes ninety children die of preventable diseases because of a lack of health facilities. If you are reading this, you have the ability to change it. We are trapped inside of our safe lives, we do not want to be bothered by the worlds problems, so we make ourselves ignorant to the suffering of the world and say to ourselves "If it does not effect me, it is not my responsibility to change it". So we continue to live in our safe lives until we pass away to dust without leaving a single mark on the world. God made you, to change the world. He gave you a heartbeat to understand what it means to be alive, He gave you feet to travel to the farthest regions of the world, He gave you hands to serve others, and He gave you a life to spark a revolution. A revolution of change. A revolution of brotherhood, where we love and serve others regardless of their political stance, financial situation, their religious standing, their skin color, or their ethnicity. A revolution where we look at the problems of the world and say those are my brothers and sisters and their problems are my problems. If you have a pulse you have potential. Use that potential to start a revolution, make the world's problems your problems. Leave a mark on the world, outlive your life.
