It takes two seconds to CARE ( usage: feel concern or interest; attach importance to something, to care about humanity). Every action has a reaction or impact on a person's life.

In 2007, I was in a potential life ending car accident. I was a passenger in a vehicle that had just left DFW airport en route to my home. My home was only nine minutes away from the airport. Afterwards, I realized that my life trajectory had changed forever. It was a wake-up call from the universe to not only live life to the fullest, but to pay attention to everything… In my day-to-day life, I see firsthand the positive ripple effect of being my authentic self, being genuine, the impact of caring about others, and the gift of learning from every person you encounter (whether good or bad). One day, I hope to be a TED speaker to share my insight on “it takes two seconds to CARE.”
