Do Because You Love

STOP!

WHATEVER IS DISTRACTING YOU...

STOP!

Live in the moment and listen up.

I am talking to everybody,

and I am hoping all of you will take these words to heart,

so please,

please,

PLEASE,

LISTEN TO ME.

The people of this generation are at times too greedy,

too needy,

to ever STOP and think about others.

Even when they volunteer it is for themselves.

Never has a generation been so worried about themselves that they only help others to benefit themselves.

I mean like isn't that terrible.

You say you're helping others...

I mean to an extent that is true.

But think about it...

Who are you really helping?

Them...?

Or you...?

STOP.

Just because it looks good on a resume,

a job application,

that's not good enough.

You're not dedicated.

You're supposed to be passionate.

Show a little compassion.

Don't just do because you should.

Do because you care.

Do because you love.

Do because you want.

But most of all...

DO GOOD.
