Greatness is determined by Service

I have a dream... that we will all start to live the change we want to see, as Ghandi would say and I'm sure Dr. King would concur with that statement. It starts with you. Each person has the power within themselves for greatness, which Oprah says is determined by service. If your greatness is determined by service, then we should not wait for tomorrow. Serve today. Dr. King would have loved that. Whatever your goal, log in some hours of work with your favorite cause - Autism, At-Risk Youth, Soup Kitchens, Halfway Houses, Walk for Cancer, Education, the Environment, Fighting Racism, etc. Spend just 10 hours a month devoting yourself to your cause. That's 120 hours a year. You can make that commitment. Stop by and tell me what causes you're committed to this year. Together we can keep the dream alive.

I totally believe in the service that Oprah is talking about and I have been living and breathing it for the past 6 years of my life. I've been a member of Rotary and Rotaract during this time and have worked on some very worthy projects from helping Orphans in Kenya whose parents have dies of AIDS,working with deaf blind organization. There is no better feeling than knowing that your efforts have made a positive impact on the life of others. I'm getting back into Rotary tomorrow and i will be pinned as a member of a Club here in Barbados!! Can't wait to be back involved and live the Rotary Slogan "Service Above Self"

Hope you like my post moonchyle:)
