Relevance

I sometimes watch sports games and often times I may look at the players on the bench. Some are actively watching the game while others are despondent as if their team is not even playing. It seems the ones that are not even paying attention have gave themselves over to the mentality that their prescence is of no relevance. I find so many youth who often are looked over for the moment are beginning to feel their life has no relevance. As adults I feel it is of the utmost importance that we commit ourselves to every younng boy and girl and let them know they have worth.

Society puts so much emphasis on sports players, actors, singers, and anyone who can gain some type of following no matter what it is they did to get that attention. I believe we need to let youth know if they aren't the next Kobe Bryant, Beyonce. or Jay Z they still have worth and value. We have to instill in them there is nothing common about workig a decent job making an honest living. I believe every human being aspires to be relevant in whatever they do but we have to remember to instill in a young persons mind that being relevant is not necessarily always going to mean popular or well liked. Teach them real things such as education,integrity, and who they are as a person will determine their true relevance. You can be known by millions and despised by that majority due to lack of integrity and character. You can be known by few and be just as relevant because of the respect they have for your lifestyle. Youth please choose to be relevant in a positve light....
