The Challenge of Giving

I am a avid reader to Seth Godin’s blog and came across a post the other day about “the hidden power of a gift” that really moved and inspired me to add my two cents.

I firmly believe that life is a gift and we must use our gifts to our greatest ability to make some form of an impact…or simply, a change! This is the reason behind conception of coup d’etat Brooklyn. It is our main endeavor to change the way people view things; even if they may not agree with our points of view, as long as they have evaluated other ideas before making a choice – then we feel we’ve made an impact.

Lets take the concept of the Super Hero vs. Villain: They both posses special abilities/powers or “gifts.” However, the only thing that separates the two is by the choice they make. They chose whether to use their powers (gifts) for good or for evil. Thats just it…Choice! It’s the most powerful thing we possess as humans. We can chose to be ignorant, or chose to be educated. We can chose to be a bigot or chose to humane. We have the choice to be a indoctrinated or a free-thinker, or to be a Conservative or Liberal. Regardless, it all comes down to choice.

I challenge you to use your gifts (or lives) to add on to the collective quality of life here on this planet. Make an impact! Its easy, just start with sharing… If you possess something that someone else needs, share! If you have information that would benefit someone else, share! Give.. Be a gift by using your gift! Change someone’s life… Become a superhero. I dare you!
