{Wisdom Wednesday} How Wonderful

{Source via Pinterest}

To be honest I wasn't going to post today.  I have been seeing some blogging advice out there that suggests cutting back on posting just to post.  And while I do love a good quote I didn't want to post one just to post one.

That was until I came across this goody from Anne Frank.  How wise Ms Frank was!  Way beyond her young years.  And isn't this such an amazing thing to come from a girl living in an annex, in close quarters, hiding from the Nazis?  

I wish I could say I believe the world has changed from when she was hidden away with her family.  Granted there isn't a government roaming the streets with heavy artillery telling us what to do (at least not yet) but there certainly is still a lot of hate.  In my opinion there is one way to improve this world and that is by showing more love, empathy and compassion.  I think Jennifer said it perfectly; "love and empathy are becoming increasingly endangered."  It seems everything now a days is so black and white.  Everywhere we turn someone is fighting somebody.  Just turn on your local station and you'll see.  

So, on this eve of Valentine's Day I dare you to not wait any longer and express love to the next person you see (I believe a simple smile will do!).  Because, after all, you may in that single moment be improving someone's world.  And that is where it begins.  With one person at a time.
