With all what is going on these days in the Middle East from conflicts and bombs... I felt the need to remind people about the importance of KINDNESS.
Have you ever felt hopeless? Have you ever felt that things will never get better?
I bet half of the people who live in our Arab World share with you these same feelings. But remember, we are all in control of our own destiny and it is up to us to make changes for the better. All of us are responsible because we do not act and change.
Haven't we learned enough from all our past experiences? Haven't we been hurt so many times?
It is time for CHANGE. Anything is possible no matter how hopeless it looks now.
Start by yourself, spread kindness, spread awareness. "Be a fruit loop in a world full of cheerios".
You want an Arab World full of kindness and love, peace and joy; you have to be kind and loving, peaceful and happy. Then your brother will be the same, then your parents, then your friends, then the circle keeps on growing and expanding until it becomes worldwide.
It sounds easy, right?! And it is as easy as it sounds. Start by "YOU". I already started by "ME".
We are so good at complaining. After every crisis, we complain and we talk about the need for change, but we don't do anything. "DO" that's the secret. If not now then when? If not you then who?
If we want progress, if we want to change "third world country title", WE have to change. One at a time!
