Never Waste Time

Never!

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

“How wonderful it is

that nobody need wait a single moment

before starting to improve the world”

Every one of us

has the ‘right’

to ‘have our say’

in the world we live in.

And we have the power to

‘do something about it’

— whatever ‘it’ is.

Anne Frank wrote these words in her diary,

hiding from the Nazi,

during World War Two.

This young girl

had so much hope

that the world would change

and that the war would end,

and that everyone can do their part

to make the world we live in

a happier and more peaceful place.

We do not need

to wait for permission

because this planet Earth is our home

and we are living in it now.

It doesn’t matter how small or large our ‘steps’ are,

the important thing is

to take those ‘steps’.

Let’s do this now and live in the moment,

and start making this positive change today.

This is our ‘responsibility’

because this is our life.

This will strengthen

our hold

on our journey in life.

So let’s not waste any time

and begin improving our lives

and our loved ones lives

TODAY.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
