All you need is LOVE :)

So, everyone knows the famous Beatles son "All You Need Is Love", and in that one line it says it all. Because Love is the most important thing we choose to have in our lives. Weather it is love for family, friend, soul mates, animals, nature, fashion, cars etc., love always makes us feel satisfied, full, whole.

Love can come in many packages, and one is helping others, which I believe is the most important thing we can do to one another. Some might donate, volunteer, pray, support or maybe all the above! Some might do it big, others small, whatever course, it means something.

And it is so true. If you choose to help the people you meet on a daily basis, that is so much better than doing nothing at all. We don't need to dream big, because it we can't fulfill those dreams we will just feel that much more like a failure. And a failure we are not!! During the last 1,5 years I've become more involved in social good campaigns, and donated money AND become a blood donor, something I've wanted to become since I turned 18 but just never got around to do. It is something that makes me feel like I make a difference in the big picture. But what about the small deeds? Is that not just as important, if not more important? In my opinion, YES!!!

How can we change the world when we can't change our country, our city, maybe even out neighborhood? We should dream big, our goal should be a better world for everyone to live in, but we need to pay attention to the people that surrounds us in our daily lives first. I have the outmost respect for those who dream big and do a huge impact in the world, and they should keep doing what they do, because it does make a difference! So by no means do i believe they should stop what they do, keep it up folks, I truly honor and look up to you. But what about us who don't have the ambition, energy, time or simply just the lust to go big when it comes to social-do-good-things? Well as i said, the small things might just be the right way. What if a call/ to you mother would make her still feel needed? What if that old lady on the bench just needs 10-15 minutes of chit-chat to make her feel wanted? Or what if a smile is all a person needs to make it through the day? Would that really be too much to ask? No, I don't believe so. But yet that is the things that we rarely do, that we don't see or realize! So let’s start now!! I love the quote I wrote in my introduction by Peter Marshall:

"Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned."

So let’s be the change! Together we can make a BIG difference, and all it takes is one small deed, a smile, a hug, a thought. It counts, you count!
