My goals

I think my short term goal for peace is to be more open and accepting of people around me.  I think if its even something as simple as a smile, it still makes a difference.  They say a thousand mile journey starts with a single step, so I think this would be my first step.  I think by nature I'm an independent, closed-off person, so sometimes people are quick to judge but hopefully my new goal will help  me to be more open and acknowledge people around me.  My long term goal has always been and will always be to visit South Africa and help little kids there. My dad is a doctor and he went one time with a group of doctors and I got to hear and see what happened along his journey.  It was really eye opening.  Instead of going to help them with health issues, I want to maybe supply food and just talk with them and see what they are going through.  I think it would be a really neat experience and also help me to learn that people who don't have nearly as much as we do have a much for peaceful life.
