For the past 6 months or so I've thought so much about "How can I make a difference?" I live in a "fabulous, small and bubbled-world." My "toughest" days are days that many people in the world will only dream to have. So many of us have more than we know what to do with, without even realizing it.Unleash - to free from restraint or control
Compassion - deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it
Passion - a powerful emotion; boundless enthusiasm
This has all got me wondering, "How can I make a difference? What talents do I have that someone else could benefit from? What can I give for the greater good?"
And with these rhetorical questions to myself, I had brainstormed the following random thoughts and ideas:
- Running X,Y,Z for X, Y,Z
- Helping my Godmother bring money back to her home in Vietnam
- Helping my Aunt make her yearly trips to Africa to help those in need
- Children and teens faced with poverty
- Grassroots campaign
- Health and fitness education
- Inspiration and motivation
- Colitis and food allergy/intolerance awareness
- Children's Education
(Again, just a random start on brainstorming!)
I know I want to make a difference, but I am having a hard time deciding on what and how. I want to make a plan and move full force with it.
I am open to suggestions and comments for this new project I'd like to begin this 2010 and stick with, build upon and make my own!
I have named this "the unleashed (com)passion project."
Feel free to leave your comments and suggestions here.

As Rick Warren stated in The Purpose Driven Life, "It's not about You." It doesn't take a miracle to make miracles happen. It takes one person to put one foot forward...and then the next!
