Being the one is not a new concept. It’s been sung about and talked about in many places designed to encourage people. But, in our current society, it’s more important than ever to be strong enough to “be the one.”
You can change the world, even if it’s in a small way. Be the first one to smile at others in a room of strangers. Or the guy who extends the first sign of friendship where none can be found.
Be the lone soul to stand up when others are afraid of the consequences. Speak up when you see others being harassed or abused.
Our world is filled with greed and selfishness. We live in a dog eat dog world where it’s every man for himself. But, not everyone is like that and we don’t have to join them.
Granted, it’s not an easy road to take. Only the strong and courageous can follow the road. But those who do will stand out for their strength and courage. Be the one.
We are conditioned throughout our life to conform and fit in. But that’s all it is, is conditioning. It doesn’t mean it’s right. If we fit in with murderers and thieves who are we? If we fit in with soldiers and warriors, who are we?
Start small. Stand up for something small that you would normally have shrugged your shoulders at and moved on in life.
To do this, we have to know what we ourselves stand for. What are your personal values? Do you know yourself?
There’s a funny thing that happens when someone chooses to be the one. Others start to stand next to him. That one becomes two. Two become four.
All it takes is one person to be the one to start the ball rolling.
Be the one.
