The Meek

There are times in my life when I'm forced into tears. The times in movies when the music gets soft, and the camera zooms in on the leading character for an emotional finish. In a movie i saw recently the lead character dies at the end, and the music was sad and it was like you were seeing a real life come to and end.

If you got lost in all that commotion. I will sort it out.

When i say that word manufactured. One thing comes to mind. Made. Like in the movies where the characters are made up, and live such incredible lives. Life changing lives. When it comes to an end right in front of you it really makes you think about life and what you're doing with it.

To realize those thoughts come out of something that is made up and filmed is something that i have a hard time wrapping my mind around. On the other hand there are times when real events in our lives move us to tears. Those are the moments that deserve a expression of emotion and caring. Some of the littlest things will move me in such a way, that i can't help but cry.

Its not even a bad thing, I don't even cry when I'm sad. Its when I'm moved by hope in something so little, quite and over looked. There is hope in a generation of children that moves me in such a way that i can't help but want to do anything i can to harness that moment.

Have i moved past the age of hope for change? Have i lost that drive that tells me i can do anything and be anyone?

I want to put down my pride that tells me i don't need help, or the competitive attitude that tells me that i have to set goals just to accomplish more then the other guy. I want to put that down, that desire for wealth and recognition. It is only holding me back. I want to be humble for the chance that i can get back that hope which moves me into action. I want to inspire people to open their hearts for change in their own life.

I feel that change is like a pebble being dropped into a pond. From something so little, it will cause ripples, and as it spreads that ripples get wider and larger. Affecting the entire pond.

I want to be humble enough to be that pebble, to realize that change comes from small, and consistent action.

I challenge myself to be meek, to be a constant light, inspiring the hearts of men and women.

Will you do the same?

Be Meek, Be a Pebble, Cause a Ripple.
