Why Not Start a Revolution?

Major Acts Of Kindness

Four years ago today, on Oct. 7, a guy in my brother club lost his brother to a car accident. I did not know him personally, but I hear he was a very Godly man who always served and gave. His family made today a day of kindness in his memory. I thought a good way to remember him would be to write my article about acts of kindness. I am doing this with the hope that I can make acts of kindness grow.

Today in our world, life is very crime-driven. People always talk about the latest crime that happened. There is nothing but sadness everywhere we turn. We do not hear about the goodness of God, only the bad things Satan does. I believe God did not intend for the world to be this way. I personally struggle with being a positive person in the very negative and crime-driven world. Every day something else is happening; tragedies are happening everywhere.

Why not start a revolution of great things? Why not, instead of posting about crimes or a negative world post, a compliment to someone going through a hard time? Why not buy a coffee or candy bar for someone having a bad day or even just the person in front of you?

I propose these questions to you as a challenge. A challenge for everyday life, a challenge that can make a difference in our world. We are the people who can make a difference. Every day, every hour, every second we are here on this earth we can make a difference. A smile on your face can lead to a smile on everyone's face. A joke or a hug can make someone's day. Giving an extra dollar tip can be the difference in that person or family eating. So why not make a difference? Why not start a revolution?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
