A thousand suns-bright and revamped

Taking action for me is the only difference between those who succeed and those who don't,

Those who are in control of their lives and those who are robots,

controlled by the systems that so enthrall us in this world that we live in.

Those who call themselves leaders, and those who lead. . .

Apparently i pride myself as one who thinks beyond the apparent,

so do my friends, who call themselves "deep"

But it got me thinking,

whats the difference between us and those who are supposedly "shallow"

Whats the use of having weapons yet we do no use them?

Or a plethora of ideas that we do no realize?

Or passions, and talents that we do not utilize?

At what point do we just put our feasts down and say enough is enough,

and TAKE ACTION??

The say you cannot change the world unless you change your core being,

and the truth in that statement bares a lot of meaning. . . 

Because you see, our core being is our beliefs,

our principles,

our lines of thought,

our 'cliches' and our standard behaviours,

because these shape our character ultimately,

and it is the reason we wake up every morning with renewed zeal,

the reason that makes each and every one of us create meaning in our lives.

Well so now we are deep, what next?

now we have changed the way we look at things. . . what next?

Take action. . . 

Personally i'm a firm believer of making the world a better place. . .

Seeing other people smile and happy gives me some sort of fulfillment,

but i cant just sit there and do nothing. . .

So you'll ask, what have you done?

For one, I have joined AIESEC which I believe is a great platform for me to CAUSE IMPACT,

As it enables me interact with people I can be able to help people to channel their views to a more positive cause,

And they can in turn help me practice what i preach,

because we never fully understand everything,

and every new day is a new opportunity to learn something new,

From the environment, from the people around us,

From the most wise and even to the most disregarded.

Moreover, I am taking up leadership,

because for me that is taking action, being courageous

because people usually lack the gusto to do so.

You have to give so that you can take,

I realize that the road ahead is full of responsibilities,

but i am also jovial because i know that i am donating my most valuable and expensive asset,

TIME,

to a better cause,

I am not just sitting and watching. . . and waiting. . . 

Because it is time we did something,

It is time we put our feasts down,

and follow our passions without excuses,

without vampire thinking (read negative thinking)

So shall we join hands and make a commitment,

to get out of our shells,

and reach out,

to that deep, hidden passion,

that opportunity,

because time waits for no man,

and you know what they say about regret:

"If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world"

Let us embrace our youth,

and pumping blood in this age,

and use it to do something useful,

LET US AWAKEN and TAKE ACTION
