I hear so many stories of how people have accomplished so much, attained great heights, have so much assets and are termed as the richest this and richest that on the planet...
I hear of so many pastors acquiring private jets and building universities (need not I say more on this)...
I hear so many parents stylishly bragging how their children insist on travelling business class so they have to oblige claiming not knowing where the children picked that mindset from (as if)...
I hear of many people who go about making statements like "do you know who my husband is' to people who they are meeting for the first time and really careless who they or their husbands are (mentioning husband's name and asking service provider to check the internet, I shrivel)
And yet.....
I hear so little of people who have helped make a difference in other people's lives,
I hear so little of people who have helped in putting food on someone's table or even given them a table to put food on,
I hear so little of people who with a few words constantly aim to inspire those who have lost hope in life,
I hear so little of people who have told a cancer patient that despite their predicament, everything is going to be alright,
I hear so little of people who stand and fight for the rehabilitation and protection of the homeless child,
I hear so little of people who preach the word of God without having financial gain as the motivation,
I hear so little of people who speak the truth for the sake of justice and humanity,
I hear so little of people who choose to mentor the next generation so they turn out better than they did,

I hear so little of people who teach the young girls about the changes they are experiencing and that its okay to be female,
I hear so little of people who are selfless at heart and volunteer their time to community work,
I am not in any position to point an accusing finger at anyone; all I ask is that we harden not our hearts and not put all our focus on that which fades away with time. Make a difference in the lives of others, don't wait till you believe you now have enough money to share a bit with others. Start with those around you, teach them the beauty in paying it forward; then just sit back and relax enjoying the rewarding satisfaction and fulfillment knowing that you just increased the number of people I hear so little about...
