IT'S NOT ENOUGH
By Bob Perks
Jul 3, 2007

It's not enough to want better things for yourself. You must
find ways to make things better.

It's not enough to say the world is in turmoil. You must find
ways to bring peace into it.

It's not enough to point at someone else and blame them
for what is wrong. You must welcome them in and ask how
you can help them make it right.

It's not enough to say "Someone ought to do something
about it!" You are someone, do it!

It's not enough to pray and ask for God's help. You must thank
him for the challenge and the opportunity to learn from it.

It's not enough to tell a child what is right. You must be what is
right so they learn from your example.

It's not enough to blame your government for what is wrong. You
must participate in the process to make it right.

It's not enough to wish. You must work to make it so.

It's not enough to ask. You must give to earn the right.

It's not enough to say "I tried!" You must try and try again.

It's not enough to want to be loved. You must learn how to love
first.

It's not enough say "I care." You must show how much and why.

It's not enough to wake up. You must thank God you did.

It's not enough to just earn a living. You must create a life.

It's not enough to begin. You must always follow through.

It's not enough to have a friend. You must learn to be one, too.

It's not enough to believe in someone. You must tell them so.
"I believe in you!" and "I wish you enough!"
