A World We Imagine - Part 3

Life is so short that you have to get every ounce of potential you need out of it. The organization that I am associated is the organization called "The Navilhon Foundation of Life's Potential." It is an organization that helps people try to reach their lives full potential. This organization's mission is driven by the fact that there is so much more potential in our world and in people in general that has yet to be tapped in to.

I am passionate about this organizations work because of the fact that there is so much untapped potential in the world. And because life is not all about materialistic things, that seems to consume our society today. I see everyday, people so consumed with what kind of material they have, they fail to realize all of the other beautiful things in life. This is a passion of mine because I never want to have any regret with my life. I don't want other people to live with regret either, so I want to help people reach their full potential.

Our organization - which is based in Los Angeles - is all about helping people reach their full potential. Since we are based in a community that is so based on self gratification and materialistic things, we try to show people things away from that. We try to take people into things in their life that they have never done before. When people initially want to work with our organization, we make them take a survey with various questions about thing that they might not have done in their life. Questions about camping trips, kayaking, sky diving, etc. Once we see the people that haven'f done these types of events we take them and do it. We let people see the other things outside of materialistic things. AMDP would love to work with our organization because the values at the core of your company align with the values that our organization holds in high standard.  

A WORLD WE DARE TO IMAGINE

There are so many beautiful aspects to life and the world we live in. So many great people out there and so many of those great people doing great things. One thing I would like to see in our world as we see it is those people being celebrated more than they do. Every time you turn on the news you are hearing about some tragedy here, one murder there, etc. I wish people would be celebrated for the good they do in this world more than all the negative things circulated. On the other side of it, there is an ugly part of our society that I see and that is selfishness. Especially living here in Southern California and Los Angeles specifically, self gratification and materialistic things are so celebrated in our culture. Now there is nothing wring with having some nice things but I just wish that people would think more about others than they thought about themselves. Life is so short and its not always about what kind of car you drive or how much money you made, but its about how much of a positive impact are you making on peoples lives? Our society has the potential to be great, we just have to be willing to tap in.

Blue Sweater 2

The second part of The Blue Sweater, Jacqueline continues to expand upon her experiences in Africa and trying to end the poverty crisis. Through Jacqueline experiences in doing this charity work in Africa she learned how to listen to people. She learned that actually listening to the people in need and listening to their desire was the key for success. She learned that solving poverty is solely about how much money she can give. But she came to the realization that every problem she encountered had its own distinct solution. Jacqueline does continue to go through some tough times in her life and things that she has to persevere through. Like finding out some of her friends have been killed, or when she was jumped and robbed of most of what she owned. Jacqueline goes on to set up the Acumen fund, which helps her give out grants and expand the reach of her charity efforts. This fund helped her affect people on a wide scale, not just case to case basis.

Jaqueline was very impressive to me through reading this book, not just because of all her social activism and charity work in Africa. But what impressed me the most was her ability not to give up. Things got really hard for her in Africa and there was not alway that "light at the end of the tunnel." But she kept putting one foot in front of the other and by doing that affected thousands of people's lives for the better.
