Make your voice heard!

Recently New York hosted the climate summit at which many important figures attended; among them was Leonardo DiCaprio. Being a well known figure, Leo’s presence was very influential. His performance was a prime example of the power one individual can have in the big picture. In today’s society, most people have the tendency to overlook the potential they have to change the outcome of something. We never believe in ourselves and what we can do to leave a lasting impression on others because we don’t realize our potential. Activists like DiCaprio have discovered the power of their voice and are speaking for a cause that they feel passionate about. If more younger people realized the fact that many of their problems can be solved if they all voiced their opinions and took action, then perhaps there would be a greater efficiency in our society. Becoming an activist is not a difficult matter; one has to gain the courage to step up and challenge the current circumstances and propose a better alternative. The truth is, many people who are unsatisfied with something, already have their own idea of how to change it or improve the situation. Activists have a huge impact on how a situation turns out because if the louder their “voice” is the more likely something will change. If you’re tired of watching nothing being done, take action and make an effort to change what you aren’t satisfied with!
