In a perfect world, every child would have a set of amazing parents, feel loved, feel valued, and feel supported. They would grow up and spread that love, and the world would be filled with loving, caring, and generous people. Unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in a world where we become expectant of bad news. Everyday we hear of disasters, crime in other countries, and violence towards people who are unable to defend themselves. there are days where i get so overwhelmed with all the hurt and pain in the world all i can do is cry.
I can’t make all the bad things in this world go away. What I can do is choose to live every day with the conscious decision to love people. I know firsthand the value of knowing your worth, and in the every day encounters i have with others i want to make them feel valued and loved. That is the reason i am so excited for the world race. I get to tell people who need to hear it the most, that despite what they have been told there are perfect just the way they are. I get to tell them that they are worth more then diamonds and gold, and the light they have inside can only shine through them.
