We develop and operate programs that strengthen communities and empower individuals through education, housing, and support services addressing poverty, homelessness, and inequality with compassion and sustainable solutions. 501(c)(3) Not-For-Profit I highly believe in this Organization and the great things that we can accomplish. As an organization, we must always stay focused on the needs of Ame
ricans. The American people are our number one priority. Each person in this nation should have a good quality of life within reason and have access to their necessities. For us to achieve the greatest success we must bring the American people together despite religion, race, sexual preference, political affiliation, and all the other barriers people use to unequally define each other. We must show everyone that in the end what truly matters is that we make the most out of our lives. Let`s not sit around and wait for others to attempt to fix our lives. We need to create a stronger more unified system now before our children face even harsher struggles than we can imagine. The One Life Organization`s name when the idea first came about was “The Green Project.” The name essentially meaning with great amounts of money we can do great things. This was nearly the beginning concept too. It was not focused enough to achieve any success. I took the entire idea back to the drawing board and asked myself the most important question, “What is most important to us in life?” What first comes to mind is life, life is the most important. Not just life alone though is important. Second would be the enjoyment of life. If we are just living life and not enjoying it, then our life appears to have been wasted. Therefore, I chose the name The One Life Organization, because we only have one life here and now, we must make the best of it. We need to stand together to overcome our obstacles and hurdles. We need to create a better system so everyone can have a good quality of life no matter where you live in the USA. There are major differences between enjoying life and just getting by. People who are enjoying their life will be much happier and content. Whereas someone who is not may be more likely to commit crimes, violence, and/or to jeopardize others good quality of life. You may also have heard that negativity is contagious. Yes, that’s right I said it negativity from others can manifest negativity inside yourself. This research was proven in October 2007 by Journal of Consumer Research`s Adam Duhachek, Shuoyang Zhang, and Shanker Krishnan. The article being named Group Interaction: Coping with Valence Asymmetries in Attitude Shift. Negativity can lead to bad or ugly consequences. Consequences which could cause the diminishment of our good quality of life possibly permanently. To have a good quality of life everyone must have individual freedom and access to necessities. If either of these appear to be impossible even for a short period it can cause someone to feel as if life is collapsing in on them. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that the unfortunate has proper access to necessities and that we continue to fight for individual freedom within reason. Currently, I am seeing issues in our social sector with the gathering of resources. I have had several Organization sit down with me to express that they do not have enough resources to help those in need. This poses as one big giant issue, because these organization are the ones that aid the less fortunate throughout America. Earlier I talked about the importance of those in need having access to proper necessities, but what if the organizations don’t have the necessities? By solving this issue, we can begin to sustain and grow America past our current struggles. Through our Community Resource Hub, I feel that we can effectively address this concern and create a strong system of resources to help anyone in need. I also would like to talk about the importance of social responsibility. If no one was socially responsible we would lose millions of American`s in a matter of a week. Life would drastically change for all of us. We currently do not have a socially responsible healthcare system in America and I believe that most can see it`s inefficiency and ineffectiveness. We need socially responsible people, businesses, and organizations to help keep our country stable. Even if everyone gives just a little, it would make a huge difference in our community. You will hear us mention social responsibility a lot, because we truly believe that if everyone was socially responsible that no one would go without. Our entire process from membership to activities are all geared towards getting everyone active in the community. I believe that we will achieve success in the next 20 year at creating a strong socially responsible America. Finally, I`d like to talk about the importance that you stay positive, have hope, and continue doing good for your community. By staying positive you don`t allow negative feeling overwhelm you. Hope is extremely important. Hope is like fuel to those who are suffering or going through rough time. Hope encourages the weak to stand up on their own. Hope truly inspires miracle and it is free to share. Next time you see someone suffering give them a hand and be sure to let them know that things will get better they just need to stay strong. Just by doing that you may have just inspired a change in someone`s life for the better. Doing good in your community could be just a simple as that.
