Somebody Has to Go First

Are you going to be the first one to notice, to find, to comment on something good? Will you start the wave of refreshment pushing back the tsunami of pain and guilt others express through their criticism, rage, and finger pointing?

We cannot change them, but we don’t need to join in or sit on the sidelines letting them consume the airwaves.

Remember, one ray of light pierces the dark. It makes it and others take notice!

  • One kind word, written or spoken can change the atmosphere in a room!
  • One smile can push away the darkest feeling in another person’s bad day!
  • Standing up for somebody who has been slandered could start a new trend!
  • Refusing to add fuel to a negative social-media fire will help put it out!
  • Being the first to say ‘Hi’, to shake someone’s hand, to ask how they’re doing…

A soft answer will turn away wrath many, many times.

Be the first…somebody has to go first…let it be you (and me too).
