The Passion to Serve Others

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." Mahatma Gandhi

The quote above is so profound. I can attest to it because I have found my passion through my service to others. In January of 2008 after watching Oprah on Martin Luther King Day I took an introspective look at myself to find out what I could do in my community to create a positive change. By the end of January the concept of Mentor 4 BIG RESULTS evolved from my introspective search into my passion.

I can say that serving others is my passion because this program went through a process of metamorphosis. From an introspective though into creative action. The action is what allows this program to exist, but it was the introspection process that allowed my passion to be discovered.

Serving others is not an easy thing to do for many people because it requires performing a selfless act. But it is the selfless act that is so rewarding.

As our nation continues to go through this period of change. I believe the hearts of many will develop the passion to serve others. Many people already possess the passion to serve others but have not taken the action to exercise their passion. This is the year of CHANGE! I encourage you to put some action behind your passion. You will never know what creative action your introspective thoughts will lead you too.

We all can be an agent of change!

As our nation enters this new era of transition and change it is critically important that we as a nation take personal inventory of ourselves. I think its important to understand that many have voted for change in the direction of this country, but my question is how many of us are willing to change ourselves? How many of us are truly ready for change? How many of us a willing to give of ourselves in ways that we never gave before? How many of us are willing to become true agents of change?

You may be asking your what is an agent of change? An agent of change is a person or group of people how recognize a condition that exist in their home, neighborhood, community or government that is not satisfactory and they make a selfless decision to effect positive change in that situation. We all have the ability to be agents of change. We banned together as a nation to become agents of change to elect a President that aims to effect positive change in our government and the World. We all must continue to be agents of change on a micro level (i.e. in our homes and neighborhoods) so that true change can be reflected on a Macro level (i.e. community safety, pride, growth and development).

I believe that as a nation are on the road to truly being a united country and the only way that we can truly achieve unity is by building, growing and achieving together. In a lot of ways that means evaluating selfish ambitions and see if they will help to meet the greater good for you, your family and humanity as a whole. The main pillar that an agent of change possesses is that s/he is not afraid to change themselves.

I challenge you to be an agent of change! www.m4brs.org

New Year's Resolution: Stop Procrastinating

With this new year in full swing, many of us have made promises and resolutions to become better in various areas in our lives. But, I wonder how many of us have already revolted against our own dreams and aspirations for this new year. Most of the time people make promise to themselves to lose weight or to become a better person in some way. I submit to you, to stop making promises for tomorrow that you can't begin today. Procrastination is a dream thief and it will rob you of all your blessings. As time passes by and you fail to act on your dreams and aspirations they become easier to shrug off or push back to the next day, month or year until puff there gone without a trace.

A couple of years ago someone told me that the graveyard is the richest place on earth because there lies the dreams and aspirations of many. In most cases those dreams and aspirations lie there in the graveyard because some those people failed to take action to bring them to life. The Bible says that "Faith without works is died" therefore, I encourage you to live a life of victory by putting some action towards your faith and begin living your dreams and aspirations today!

Happy New Year!
The Mentor
