What a tough world we live in today. People are faced with choices and challenges that make your head spin. What do you do to change something you don’t agree with? Sadly, most people don’t take any action other than complaining about the problem. Instead of ranting and be-rating everyone on social media, use your voice to bring awareness to the problem and take action to make a change. At first, you may feel you’re the only one who feels the issue is a problem, but telling your story raises awareness and gives others the opportunity and courage to share their stories too.
A problem cannot be solved if people don’t realize there is a problem. Do not let the fear of being ostracized or intimidated detour you from making a change. Sometimes a phone call or email can solve the problem. Worst case scenario, the problem may require legislation. The point that is we have to stop expecting others to advocate for us. We are our best advocate, especially when it comes to issues involving children. If we want the world to be better for future generations, then we can’t wait for future generations to make the changes.
