Fireworks in 2016

We all love fireworks, don't we? Be it at the Countdown Party, National Day Parade or other major events, one of the highlights is usually the spectacular firework display. It is not difficult to understand why we are so fascinated with fireworks. Across the dark wide sky, a series of colorful bright lights bursting to the top, illuminating the entire sky. If darkness is a symbol of despair, suffering and pain, then light must be the symbol of hope, courage and faith.

Today is the first day of 2016, we have 364 more days to go before the next countdown party and firework display. It is a great time to start something new and meaningful for this year, especially for those who have yet to embark on the kindness journey. Your love and kindness will be the fireworks which light up the lives on those who are in pain, those who are suffering in silence and those who need help. Your energy and enthusiasm will propel you to the highest point, where your lights will shine the brightest. You will give hope to those who are in despair, you will help them find courage, you will influence others do likewise, you will restore faith and confidence in humanity and you will create an impact, just like the fireworks in the dark skies.

I am not asking anyone to form a new volunteer group or start a mega charity project that would be worth mentioning during the National Day Rally. I am only asking you to take baby steps with the simple acts of kindness, the little things we can do for one another, our loved ones, strangers on the street, people whom you know may need help. If you can only give one act of kindness in 2016, it is still good enough. You will build upon that in 2017, and so on. The key is to get started, to open your heart to kindness, the opportunities will come, believe me, by the law of attraction. Look around our group and be inspired by all the wonderful people here, for there are so many ways to give.

Be someone's fireworks in 2016, it will be rewarding and fulfilling when you embark on this journey with all of us. Thank you for having the kind thought and making that effort to reach out, cheers to a fantastic 2016 for all of us :)
