Who deserves the attention?
Posted in Purpose on the Jun 18, 2007
I am so tired of seeing and hearing about these young “celebrities” on the evening news, various magazines and talk radio. We must have something better to talk about than their crazy antics.
I’d like to challenge each and every one of us to discuss people that are really doing wonderful things in the world – Where their actions are really making a difference to their families and their communities.
The world is filled with people who are combating difficult circumstances to make the world a better place. Aren’t they worth a mention?
I recently read an article in a local publication about a young man who is overcoming terrific physical obstacles to pursue a sport he loves. Despite serious birth defects, this young man is a member of the local wrestling program. He even won his first match during the past season. This is a young man that should be a topic of conversation. This is a young man that inspired me just by reading the article. You can read the full article here.
Our communities are filled with many people like this. Let’s give those people the attention they deserve. Let’s make them the “celebrities” that we want to hear about.
