How much is in your hand??

How many times have you seen a really great movie and the get caught with the deep sense of a message the movie is trying to send out. Once, I saw the amazing Sandra Bullock in her philanthropic role in the movie, The Blind Side and was immediately wrapped up with a strong need to do more for the society I belong to. But I'm only 23 and in the country I live in, Nigeria, that's means, most times, you are either a fresh college graduate trying to start off an independent life or still in college depending on your folks.

So with no substantial amount of money to even live on my own and a pressing need to help people some how, how do I start? Do I tell myself  "drop it, it is a bad timing!" or could they be a way I could be a help somehow?

There are a lot of people who have been dealt hard blows from life and getting back up has not really been easy. Some have settled lying down until they are laid to rest! Thus, a constant call to help out always! But then how many times do we answer these calls? Or we just hope someone out there would answer? Some times, our excuse for not helping goes because we think our own lives are so much big of a deal and we couldn't do much for another person.

After going back and forth about what I wanted to do in my life and second guessing it for about a hundred times. I found nothing felt good like just helping people; whether its just putting a smile back on a moody face or helping a charity organization achieve their noble goals...It is always fulfilling to see how much of good another person can receive from us. This is because there's just so much in human beings and it's beautiful when we all can see it and help them find it. Whether it is done through mere motivation or doing something that inspires others. And most times it doesn't cost a dime but comes back with a fulfillment that can not be bought with millions.

In the world we live in, there is a lot of misconception and lies that has held people in bondages for tens of decades. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that until you have a house up on the hill or have a personality that commands the media all over the world, you can't help a soul...that's lie!

Living your life in a very positive manner can be inspiring to people around you, making a conscious decision to stand up for what is right can be making a big of impact more than you know. You must not have a charity organization before you can help someone.
