Revolutions are started by those who want things to change. As Barry himself says, it only takes "one voice" to make a difference in this world. He has done that recently by donating musical instruments to the schools in his community and kicking off the Manilow Music Project. If you've noticed the ads on television and in the theaters lately, there is another organization doing the same thing: providing instruments to schools who have lost funding in their music programs.The question is, can just one person make a difference. The definitive answer is ABSOLUTELY. Take Judy Domingo for example. She raised thousands of dollars for her charity AFAN completely on her own. She led her team to being the 2nd highest fundraiser and she alone was the highest individual fundraiser for that charity walk.
In their new book, New Day Revolution, Sam Davidson and Stephen Moseley, give helpful hints, practical tips, and step by step instructions on how to make a big difference in the local community and the world at-large with whatever time you have. It's a great place to start for some ideas on what you can do to change. And although it's inconvenient, change is also the catalyst for growth in your personal life.What can you do to change your world? It is something as simple as donating that unused musical instrument gathering dust in your closet? Can you start recycling even if it's inconvenient? Can you help others to see the value in volunteering their time? Can you donate clothing to the homeless in your community? Can you participate in a charity walk and raise funds for that charity?
If there's one thing that Manilow fans have always admired Barry for, it's the example he sets through his Manilow Fund and his charitable giving. We can follow that example ourselves by making those inconvenient changes that will also make a difference in the lives of others.
Viva the Revolution!
