I had a discussion with a good friend the other day about how we’re growing up in a generation without a core.

Where being friends to all but friends to none is becoming the norm.

Where we try so hard to accomplish everything that we accomplish nothing.

They say change happens when you push the boundaries and that the only place for change is at the edges. That is more than true.

But it’s just as important to pause.

Breathe.

Take a good look at where we started and where we’re going.

Are we staying true, genuine, grounded?

Take a moment to write down the 5 people and the 5 things or activities in your life that matter the most. Can you name 5 of each? Are you giving them the time, energy and love that they deserve?

If the answer is no, change something.

Because meaningful growth can’t be sustained without roots.

Suddenly I realized that I had become immersed in a world where quite often how you look than is more important that how you think . Where your net worth is more relevant than your self worth. Where success is measured by what you have not what you have to give.

It’s time to rewind the tracks.

Today is the start of a movement.

Young people have always been at the forefront of every major movement for social change.

In the moment you reach out to care for somebody, you’re tapping into the ultimate grace that we possess.

We are each capable of becoming a light for another person.

What an amazing gift.
