We Can Change The World Together
It doesn't matter if you're dark brown, brown, light brown or pale, rich, poor, religious or not, male, female or androgynous, homosexual, heterosexual or somewhere within the LGBPTTQQIIAA+ spectrum as that is all binarism. That does not define who we are and what we are capable of. What we are, is human. Each and every one of us, and the actions we take CAN positively affect the lives of others. All it takes is for us to take that very first step, do something for someone else and we can start a chain reaction that could change this world. There is nothing that can stop us from being human but ourselves. We have the ability in and off ourselves to make a difference. Believe you can, because I know I can and I know you can too! You are ALL amazing individuals capable of extraordinary things!
I leave with you a very powerful message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT-HBl2TVtI
Some tags for a handful of people I can think of at the top of my head. If you weren't tagged it is only because I'm human, and the main thing is that you're here now; aren't you? You're just as special to me and I want you to share in this as well. This is for all of you, the entirety of the 7 Cups of Tea Community. You're loved and appreciated!

I'm gonna stop for now before I get accused of bringing down server hardware due to all the tagging notifications, LOL!! But please just know that this goes out to all of you, and if anyone else wants to share in, spread the love, please do go right ahead!
When I was a kid, I've always wanted to change the world. I had to realize that it wasn't possible and I felt like I was no good, a total loser, because I couldn't achieve my dream to make this world a better place. But when I came on this site and met some beautiful people (Philbear for example) I realized that changing the world takes little steps. And one of these steps are helping people on this site. Make them happier with their lives. Somehow I finally achieved the feeling of changing this world with little baby steps and I'm thankful for Philbear, because he made me realize those words.
Together we can change this whole world with our energy to help people, this exact energy keeps me motived everday and I wanted to thank you for that!
Thanks to the whole community for make this dream possible!
Share the love!
@MrsBrownEyes that is so great to hear, and I am so deeply touched that you feel that way! Knowing you feel that way totally justifies all the efforts I have put into this site so far. It is for outcomes such as these that I spend countless hours trying to find ways to help the community as best I can. Knowing that I can have that affect on you, which then motivates you to help others (like you've been doing so amazingly well in group chats, 1-1's as well as in tonight's relationship discussion) and it is the chain-reaction I was referring to! You are an absolutely special person to me, Jasmine, I know I've said it countless times before, but wow; keep on being yourself and doing all the good you do!
There are so many people on this site that do so much good, and I am thankful to each and everyone one of them, their work doesn't go unnoticed and even if they don't get recognized I believe the cherry on top comes from knowing they've motivated others to motivate others, etc. etc. You are all amazing! Huge shoutouts and love to you!
Wow indeed that's a powerful message , we can change things all together ,we truly can ! (that creepy smiley though ahah)
When I was young (I still am ,but that is a detail) I was mad some times because I couldn't help others as much as I wanted to or I felt judged for it like it was bad to help others here :/ Since I discovered 7cups it gave me hope and it truly is awesome
PS: I'm so happy to be in the tags , you're super duper awesome and I'm always happy to see what new idea or post you made , keep up the great work super bear :D
@Ace13 awww that is really kind of you, thank you so much!! Together, one creepy smiley at a time, one message forward, two ears to take in all the information and two hands to return a new outlook for those who we can help help themselves is our common goal here! I am so glad to have such amazing people such as yourself working alongside me to make a HUGE difference to those who we connect with here!
By the way, your age is but a number. Superficial. Age is not what governs who we are and what we can achieve and how we can achieve it (besides obviously the legal age constraints). You can sit in a cave your entire life going nowhere and doing nothing and what would that have taught you compared to experiencing what life has to offer, making mistakes and LEARNING from those mistakes to advance yourself and making a difference in the lives of other?! Don't let ANYONE stop you from achieving your goals, because I believe in you, and I hope that you do too! All it takes is small steps, write down those goals, write down small baby steps on how to achieve those goals, what is required, etc. and then chip away at those small steps till you're at your final step which you climb, both feet firmly planted and goal in hand.
What a lovely message, @Philbear! So inspiring and thought-provoking!
Like many others, it brings me back to when I was really young, and wanted to try and help the whole world. I still do, but I know that it isn't quite possible on my own.
It makes me think of just how wonderful 7 Cups is, though. As individuals, we most likely won't be able to help the whole world. However, by working as a team, and by all chipping in to help even just a couple of people, we can make huge impacts. It makes me really thankful for 7 Cups.
@RebeccaEmily that is so true!! But we cannot hold onto the "I can't change the world on my own" scenario, as the truth is so long as you keep a positive mindset and BELIEVE that you want to and that you CAN with others then ANYTHING is possible. 7COT is proof of that already, and we are only ever expanding. We have pretty much reached to many places of the world already and if we take what we have learnt here into the real world, to treat others the way we wish to be treated, to help others in need then we can truly change the outcome of the entire world when we work together. Think, if only 10 of us help 5 people each in even a month that is 50 people reached and if only 10 of those people go on to help 5 people each... Once the chain starts it cannot be broken, love and care for ourselves and others can conquer anything! We need to show some selfless compassion in order to make a difference.
I can easily focus on just myself and my life, instead of the 10+ hours a day I put into 7COT. But then what? I am living a life just for myself so when one day I pass what have I truly achieved? By helping people like this I know for a fact I am making a difference in the lives of others who give life another chance with their whole being and they in turn may go on to helping others... And I know that one day when I truly need someone, I will have someone to fallback to. That is the beauty of giving, giving in your full entirety while you still can because you never know when you won't be able to and need the giving of others.
@Philbear what a fantastic post and video! You're right, I read all your replies, we can change the world 5 people at a time. This website is proof of that and people like you, your ideals and thinking can move mountains, proud of you. I've seen you around the alternate CSS post but I see that you have several other qualities than just being technologically sound.
Nice reading this!
Another brilliant post, wonderful @Philbear (Could I have expected any less?) ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this inspirational video and your beautiful words, it made my heart smile! Similar to what the lovely Rebecca said above me, it made me reflect upon the community here at 7Cups, one act of kindness at a time, we're working both individually and together on a mission to make this world a better place. I'm honoured to be working alongside someone as awesome as you here ✰
@Philbear I absolutely love this thank you for sharing such a lovely post with us! Yes I believe we can change the world slowly one step at a time as long as we do it together! That's totally what 7Cups is about right? We're bringing a positive change into the world by helping others..also, that video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you again Phil for being so encouraging! 💝
