There are a lot distractions in the world. Distractions that pull individuals away from what and who really matters. Distractions that pull people apart rather than pull them together. Life is a beautiful thing. Why not live everyday like it is your last. You never know when the time will come when your day will end or your Mother's, Father's, Brother's, Sister's, Friend's and Classmate's. Right now our world and the people in this world are more focused on what is going on that is making it worse rather than what we can do to make it better. This video spoke loudly to me and how one little simple act of one man that helped thousands of individuals put on a smile and changed their lives for that .2 seconds they came in contact.
Please watch.
I was watching some interviews from the individuals that received hugs from this guy and one woman said something that really opened my eyes. She said,
"I will never forget my first free hug. after years of living without hope, just when I was ready to give up, that hug helped pull me back into the world."
"I will never forget my first free hug. after years of living without hope, just when I was ready to give up, that hug helped pull me back into the world."
We all need to remember that there is somebody out there that has a day that is worse than yours. Someone out there is struggling more in their life than you are. Someone out there does not have the love they feel from a family every single day as you do. Someone out there cries for help everyday just to receive the attention they can't have that you have. Don't ever walk outside of your door feeling down. There is always something to smile about and always something you can do to lift yourself and others up, even by a simple hug. It may change someone's life.
amen.
