When we sit idle and make redundant wishes, hoping that X, Y, and Z will happen to bring about the changes that we seek, we are possibly wasting time and valuable opportunities. A wishful thought can only come to fruition with action.
If you don’t like where you are planted, then consider shifting around for a better spot.
If you don’t like how your life story reads, turn another page and start a new chapter.
If you don’t like certain things about your community, what are you doing to make a difference, no matter how small?
Every step taken brings you closer to your hope as long as you are taking that step.
Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha

Been working on the blueprints of my life for a while now. It is always a work in progress!
And as for my neighborhood, I call myself The Mayor because I get things done, lol!
Great post. Jacqueline! I wish I could get a young person in particular to read it.

Excellent post, Jacqueline. I recently read a message from a Christian pastor about the different types of neighbors. The closing thought was wherever you go you will be there, so be there better (paraphrase mine).
