Volunteering & Leadership: Can We Make A Change?

     Am I the only one who is tired of hearing all this negative news? I feel it's about time to start changing it. Yes, I agree that the news usually will only tell negative news because it's how they get people to watch, but say we didn't do this to get on the news.. Yes, doing something good without any publicity. No matter who you are, you can make a little change in someones life. Maybe just a quick 'hey how are ya?' message or maybe a visit, whatever it may be, whatever it may take, just do it. This can be done without having to be publicly recognized for it. Although, I know that it can't happen like that in a world full of technology. So, if you decide to do something good for someone else do it! Afterwards if you feel the want or the need, post a picture of you or your group on social media, adding #SpreadThePositive.
     I know I talked about this last time I posted but it truly is something I care about. Getting out in your community and doing something can make a much larger impact then you could imagine. For instance; I am a volunteer firefighter, as of Tuesday (Sept 8th, 2015) I've been in the fire service for 1 year.  Over that year I've respond to a decent amount of calls, and to this day I don't realize what difference I may have actually made, but I know from others who send cards or small little thank you gifts, that has a crew, our teamwork and service really impacted someones life. Sure, that's a little big, and I realize not everyone has the ability to be a firefighter. However, there is endless things you could do to Spread The Positive, it could be as easy as volunteer at a soup kitchen, volunteering at the VA, or donating food to a shelter. As our parents taught us (or may not of) all those little things add up into bigger things. Each little bit of volunteering that you put in, is just adding up to a large impact in the end. Around you are so many opportunity's, take advantage of what is available to you. Remember that no matter what you do, it is making a difference for someone else.
    This leads us into one last thing; leadership. This is your opportunity to show what kind of leader you can be. Get out and do something, our world right now (whether you want to believe it or not) could use more positive leadership. Give this a chance! Don't turn it down! Take some time to Spread The Positive!
