ACTivism: Where Do We Begin?
Most activists are broke or struggling because we refuse to comply to a system meant to oppress or enslave. In my very humble opinion anyone who accepts money to be an activist whether it be writing, speaking engagements, public events etc is already part of the system they are attempting to change.
So where does one begin? For me it’s not a difficult question. One must follow their heart, their passion, that which feeds the soul daily and yes that fire burning from the inside out to the point that silence is no longer an option nor will we submit to the injustices which plague our existence. We must pay attention to our calling, our interests, outrages and what inspires us.
We can contribute to the change we seek by no longer being silent. Start being mindful of the impact and energy we bring with us in our everyday interactions and environments. Whether it be with family, community, school, or the workplace. The way we interact with the people around us in everyday life, which includes the seeds planted in children and personal behaviors even when you think no one is watching.
The kindness you show a neighbor or a total stranger. You play a vital role by bringing love, compassion and peace to the world by spreading love, compassion and peace yourself.

The energy we emit radiates outwards reaching all levels
of consciousness. It all begins with us as individuals, and it is not a
fad nor a whim, activism is indeed a way of life.
