Always Ripe (A #MandelaDay Post)

NMF-MandelaDay-Logo-INT-Colour-NEG

On Friday, July 18, people around the world shared their favorite Nelson Mandela quotes on the occasion of the sixth “Mandela Day” and the first since his death in December 2013. For more information about Mandela Day, please visit this link.

To see my quote, view the following brief video:

According to the Mandela Day website, Nelson Mandela followed three rules throughout his life:

  1. Free yourself.
  2. Free others.
  3. Serve every day.

July 18 is the “official” day. That leaves 364 others in which we can each “serve every day.” Is there a cause calling your name? Tapping at your conscience? Enticing you to contribute your energy?

The time is ripe to do right.

      It does, doesn’t it?! I think our lives demand more and more creative use of time but if he could do it and do so much right with it, who are we not to try? 🙂
