Outlook
5 April 2007I just finished the list of "Amazing Women we should know about" This really helped me. It wasn’t a life changing experience, but it did help change my outlook on several things including:
1. I realized that everyone can do something to make the world a better place, even if they are the most unlikely person. It doesn’t have to be big. Most of these changes were brought about by personal tragedy. From now on, I will try to remember this & turn my problems into strength & beauty.
2. There are good people in the world.. When I watch the news, I am often disgusted by the cruelty of humanity, or the absurdness of celebrities. There are so many people I have never heard of who are doing their part to make the world a better place. This is true beauty.
3. I overall just felt happier. It was a good project, because I was involved in some small part by writing about it, finding more information, instead of just reading. I learned about a lot of great charities & causes. I encourage everyone to sit down & write about who they think is amazing.
These women have inspired me to become better & not be discouraged about how much there is to fix in the world. Instead, I must find a way to make it better, in my own way.
