Caring For Ourselves, a way to enrich lives and working for team progress.

      In our educational and daily adventures, we meet people from different  Cultural and Moral background. Too often, we are tempted to start passing  a judgment  on which of the Cultures or moral backgrounds is better. Judging riches, wealth, and appearance  forgetting the inner person. How ever they  are simply different and each of them is rich in its own way.Being a changemaker by enriching  the lives of others is my optimum  joy and satisfaction, this is especially to those who have lost hopes of living, self esteem and will power  over all the do. My primary school days were made through my struggle of selling in the market for my fees and feeding in school but reaching school, i see and listen to children(peers) in my class under the pain of hunger and negletion. This to me is difficult and very sorrowfull listening to them. As painful as it is; I give the little I had to feed that day and knowing I am hungry as well. I was already grewing that thought of sharing the burden and saving a situation, Joyful as the child might be, i give and remain in thoughts.                                                                                                             The thoughts  of this hardship and degree of sacrifice never left me,but didn't lost hope for a better future and felt greatful to get someone i helped coming back a say"Thank you for the help ". I am so happy that even with my own hardship and difficulties as my condition  may be, i can still help some one. My each  day was spent  in deep thoughts even though some days become so long, i still think and think so hard of what I am witnessing  and why?. Because I believe not every one experiences  my degree of hardship and thoughts. In my situation, was always believing  that my challenges will be resolved some day.                        Speaking out positive words  to ourselves can activate the strong person in us and raise our self esteem which  is the tool and key to building a successful  life. In some state of difficulties we may  find our friends, sisters or neighbors  we can add our voice to giving them hope by the good and encouraging words we alter to them. In some cases they might be in a desperate  situation  of a financial  help, encouraging them truely won't help in this case but supporting  financially  no matter  how little it may be and empowering them will go a long way to help and safe a life or rebuilt hope and trust.                                    The love and care we show to our fellow brothers and sisters, helps bring us all to a common platform where happiness ,hope and trust is built. When ever I go to the orphanage  to visit, i feel like staying there. This is because I notice a joy created and space cover in the children that makes me feel fulfilled  I was there. This is all about the care for ourselves and neighbors  am talking about to build team progress. My younger brother a sickle Cell patient  usually  is sick and when this crisis starts I find my self in the hospital  helping out and going to the market to sell just to raise income to food his bills because  selling  is the way we get income to survive. When he starts getting better I feel I have done something too. Just saving a life especially that of my younger one matters most to me and this his crisis arose often, this means I have to be off school so many times as soon as need arise. Caring for him and advising gives him the hope and keeps him going. In this way I keep pushing too with  life struggle.             Apart from my brothers ill health, when our dad abandoned our mum. She was always sad and deep in thoughts,  i will do all I can to help her. To mention a few ;Go sell with her, assist in the house work, encourage her and show her love just to keep her from thinking too much about her condition. This gave her hope and keeps her going even the children,  her happiness at this time became our pride. When I quarrel with a friend I later reflect and then go for peace, sometimes am not even at fault but I just submit and apologize to make peace and show how much I care for her. This keeps me going too because I have peace of mind and am fine with  my friend too.                                 In all, we as humans have our short comings and excellent side, being focus to clean all our dark and weak spots, fighting to put a smile on every one we come across by our actions, speech and behavior  show how we care for ourselves and others. This happiness, love, assistance and care is essential in our daily lives as we build team progress. Thanks for the opportunity  to share
