Blog Action Day - the Power of We
the Power of We. This year's Blog Action Day theme seemed to broad and so open for interpretation that I could not find a topic.
1st thought - the We that helps after a disaster and shows how communities, cities, countries, pull together when needed or when the media reach is so far that everyone feels better if they are part of a greater good movement.
2nd thought - the We that made up the Arab Spring for change.
Then it went on to recycling, local movements, breast cancer fundraisers for the cure anything.
The Power of We comes not any of these things but only from the on-going sustainability of the effort. We brought about some relief to Haiti. The Power of We was needed to rebuild and make the lives of the citizens of Haiti better. We failed to keep the Power.
The people in Arab countries were the We that brought about change. When people left the ideal of We, the Power was lost and the hope for all has not happened.
The Power of We can happen but it takes concentrated effort, awareness, involvement and an unrelenting desire to achieve the goal. Breast Cancer is one example where this power is working. The Power is what is keeping people going year after year, keeping the momentum, working as a group to raise money to find a cure.
A uniting power that keeps people together and focused and even when a weakness or controversy is exposed, the power will find solutions or other options.
That is what is needed to bring about global change. The Power of We only happens when we are truly empowered and included. Not select groups, or only one sex, religion, race.
Everyone.
That's when we'll realize the Power of We.
