Making a Difference-Can You Hear Me Now?

I have come to the realization that there are so many people in the world that are suffering from so many different afflictions. But everyone has the same thing in common, that is everyone wants to feel that they are understood and that someone actually cares about them.

For most of my life I struggled with feeling like nobody cared or understood me. It caused me a lot of pain and it greatly affected my outlook on life. When I finally had enough courage, I was able to stand up for myself. By doing this, it gave me a chance to overcome what afflicted me.

The sad part about it was that I had a lot of anger towards people because they failed in helping and caring for me. I struggled with the thought of why should I help someone else when nobody ever cared to help me.

I finally came to my senses and I realized that I can’t change the fact that I felt like no one was there for me, but I can make a difference for someone else. By doing this I might change there outlook on life.

So my question is: “Is there someone that you know today that is carrying a burden or that is afflicted from a circumstance they are trying to overcome?” Usually you don’t have to look far. My challenge is for everyone that you might take the time to be more observant and to be more involved with the people around you. For you never know when you might be there for someone and have a chance to make a difference in someone else’s life.
