Greetings from Inspiration from a Blind, brought to you monthly by www.ShirleyCheng.com!
Do you hold the power in your hand? You do indeed! You hold the power to bring sunshine into someone's life; you hold the power to create dark clouds over your head. You have the power to choose the road you take and change your life around. Throughout the history of mankind, heroes have used their power to bring forth significant changes affecting generation after generation. The great Martin Luther King Jr. opened the eyes and hearts of people to accept fellow human beings, ones who wear darker clothes than some others. (How we look are just nature clothes we wear—some wear brown while others wear white, but inside, we're all the same.)
A recent hero acted upon pure love, courage, and instinct. Wesley Audrey jumped from a Manhattan subway platform to rescue an ill student who fell down to the train tracks. Imagine the train charging straight at you while you have to save someone's life by tightly pinning them to the ground below the tracks, being only two inches away from the train. Wesley definitely holds the power!
Now, I know it is my turn to use my power to contribute big to the world. I need to open the eyes and hearts of people to turn our country into a true nation run by the people for the people. As you all know, I am a parental rights in children's medical care advocate; on Martin Luther King Jr.'s Day, I created an online petition to give parents the right to disagree with doctors' recommended treatments for their children and to have the right to choose and follow their own treatment. If you support this cause, please by all means sign the petition at:
http://www.petitiononline.com/parentr7/petition.html Please by all means pass it along to others; forward it, post the information in newsgroups, forums, chat groups, blogs, websites, newsletters, etc. I need all the support I can get! By uniting our power, we can move mountains.
As promised in my previous issue, now you can read my Honorable Mention essay, I Hold the Power. I received the mention in the 3rd Annual Be the Star You Are! writing contest last month.
This is all for this month. Remember that you hold the power to be unstoppable! Never fear of unleashing the power sooner than later.
