Critical mass time...
This was written by one of my SparkPeople friends. His name is Tim. I encourage you to read the whole blog entry -- it is not very long, it will only take you a minute, but it will definitely give you a lots to think about and take away with you.
One of the things that Tim made me think about is the sense of community and leadership. How many times do we see something wrong and do nothing about it? He vowed: "I am not going to watch it happen quietly." As members of this world we need to seek the opportunities to do something about things that need to be corrected. In the most basic sense, it means reaching out to someone and saying that you care and you are ready to spend some time helping them. If we help only one person per week, we will make a huge impact on the world around us. It reminds me of the movie "Pay It Forward."
When we do something for someone without expecting something back in return, we impact the world.
When we care for an elder person with love and patience, we impact the world.
When we take care of a child with love and patience, we impact the world.
When we take care of a pet with love and patience, we impact the world.
When we get involved in community affairs, we impact the world.
When we take care of ourselves with love and patience, we impact the world.
We're already 6 weeks into the new year and I'm seeing a sad event happening around me, even here at SparkPeople. People that were fully energized and ready to take on the world have fallen off and are not exercising at the gym. Certain members on my friends list have not been active for a few days up to about 3 weeks.
While everyone that falls away has the same goal of getting into better shape, there are many reasons that some fall away from their motivation or their plans that some took some good thought and measure to create. It makes me sad to see this but yet I am not going to watch it happen quietly.

Hi Vic...nice way to utilize my thoughts! I'm impressed! Carry the word out to as many as you can.
It was never my intention to be recognized for my words, but to inspire others to stay the course for better health in their and their families lives.
All the best to you Vic.
Tim
