Today I learnt a valuable lesson. Start your dreams with pebbles.
Funny sounding I bet but it's true.
When I was younger, I wanted to do many things but mostly to help change and shape the world. It rattled me when I discovered how social economics work. How, when one thing happens across the world, how it affects each of us. I was devastated to see how one person could manipulate so many into doing such horrible things. How could we switch it? Make it from something bad to something good.
I started to volunteer at an early age. I wanted to make others smile and happy.
I've admitted in the past, it's become an addiction. Volunteering that is. I love how it makes others smile. How energized I get. What I learn.
The key? What I learn. Since I started to volunteer, I've learnt more than any educational institution could teach me and all for free. I want to be that positive ripple effect that spans across oceans, one that reaches higher than the clouds and touches a heart further than I've dreamt.
Now, I'm stepping out on my own with some friends and doing something I've never done before. Nothing of this magnitude and I am more excited than I could imagine. This is where I should be, right here, right now. All from that first pebble cast on my first volunteer job. I started my dream in my early teens without knowing.
Now it's your turn.
Love your life.
Nicky
