Throughout history, people have stood on two sides of a fence…
Either they have felt alone and powerless to change their future. They’ve felt that one person just can’t make a difference in the world.
They’ve asked the question, “What can I do?” and answered it with “Nothing. I’m just one.”
Then there’s the people who have believed in the “Power of One…”
People like Mahatma Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Jesus Christ, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, and more.
These people have realized that one single person with a vision, purpose, and commitment can in fact start a movement and change the world.
These people asked the question, “What can I do?” and they answered it with actions, words, and the ability to inspire others to join their purpose and mission.
The hope is that this Caring Catalyst inspirational video, “The Power of One,” inspires you to always try and be in that second group of people.
You have the power of one.
You have the power to make a difference. . .
BUT WILL YOU?
A Call To ARMS
We are all still stunned
As WE seek for
UNDERSTANDING
REASONS

SAFETY

Non-Violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the lightest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man–Mahatma Ghandi
T R U E L Y
are we past T H I S ?
Aside from totally being stunned by the sheer madness;
the utter devastation of at least 5 9 innocent people being massacred. . .
theres’s a Call to Arms. . .
And if there’s ONE TIME
that’s absolutely true. . .
IT IS NOW
after recent hurricanes and earthquakes
and now, THIS:

. . .But,
A C A L L T O A R M S ?
A B S O L U T E L Y
but not by buying more guns
or even absurdly thinking to rid the world of them. . .
but by using what is so readily available to each of us:
O U R A R M S
. . .But, H O W
Literally HUGGING everyone you know
and those you don’t. . .
RESPECT EVERYONE–INCLUDING YOURSELF
No one can degrade you without your permission and it is WITHIN YOU to uplift ANYONE, the richest, the poorest, the most kind or the most evil around us. . .
ALWAYS INCLUDE CONSTRUCTIVE ALTERNATIVES
Fancy way to say:
B E T H E D I F F E R E N C E
Thousands of studies have shown that working together is the most effective way to unite people–this is being an ultimate CARING CATALYST; It builds community and reassures the general public that YOUR MOVEMENT is not a danger to any social order but a pure restoration of IT
BE AWARE OF THE LONG TERM
Yes. . .VIOLENCE is effective, maybe way too much effective but in the long run it leads to more misery and DISorder; In non-violence, we can lose battles but still go on to win the war
LOOK FOR WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS
Whenever I can be a part of another’s success; I AM SUCCESSFUL; When I row you across the roughest and most troubled of waters, I get to the other side, too!
U S E P O W E R C A R E F U L L Y
PROVE that the greatest power is never at the end of a gun barrel but at the end of your hand. . .it’s true, that when you reach out you may get hurt, shunned, mocked, but you also run the high risk of not just healing, affirming, comforting but actually REACHING what needs reached most: A N O T H E R
TRUE OR FALSE:
Is all LIFE is interconnected; Your PAIN is my PAIN; YOUR HAPPINESS is MY HAPPINESS. . .
I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. Martin Luther King, Jr.
When it comes to not just bearing arms,
but actually using the two most powerful ways possible:
O U R A R M S
to effect the most drastic means of healing change
there’s but one answer:
Without a doubt
Violence is a bon-fire of hurt that burns many,
Love is that small flicker that makes it impossible
for us to forget the
F L A M E
We hear. . .
We witness what happens
most recently in Las Vegas
and while we’re so tempted to

the senselessness of it
we need more to be

is a Caring Catalyst way
that will bring the most
long lasting solution. . .
Our Constitution
is not going to be amended to repeal our right to bear arms
