Being Part Of The World

"Life is politics. And it has nothing to do with holding or seeking elective office. Life is politics at its very root, literally, because the word is derived from the Greek word for citizenship. Since there can be no true citizenship in the absence of participation, politics means being a part of the world around you." - Carolyn Warner, educational and public policy leader and inspirational speaker

Are you making sure that you're being a part of the world around you? I know I am now. It was never my intention to actively participate in life but I've learned over the years that I enjoy life much more when I do become a part of what is happening.

When I was younger I felt as if life was to be endured and my focus was upon existing on a day-to-day basis. It felt as if I approached each day with the attitude of "what's going to go wrong today?". Well, from my experience, I can say this is no way to live. I'm glad I decided to make some big changes in my life and start becoming part of the world and actively participate in my own life. It has made quite a difference, I can assure you of that.

I am a true citizen today. I participate, I engage in life, I am being a part of my world. I am grateful to have made this shift in my thinking and in my actions. It has been well worth the effort.

Won't you join me?
