It’s over. Here’s what you can learn from my Survival to Thrival Tour.
16 February 2012Frank McKinney’s Survival to Thrival Tour continues to be a success, even though the tour bus is now parked. The Tour traveled 4,071 miles across the United States, stopping at 16 homeless shelters and soup kitchens.
During the Tour, I slept under bridges, in parks and at homeless shelters. I touched tens of thousands of lives, but the mission is not over…now it’s your turn to join me.
To vividly experience the tour in action, go to www.SurvivalToThrivalTour.com and click on the videos to the left; “News Features,” and just below those; “Frank’s Own Words,” or see newsprint & radio interviews under “Press” and “Radio” to the right.
A TV reporter asked: “Frank, are you doing this tour to raise awareness for the homeless?” My response; “Awareness? Who doesn’t know about homelessness in America? I am here to do something about it!”
The Tour was not about awareness, it was about action. Our great country has become a nation of talkers, dreamers and debaters. Of occupied pundits and politicians, some real, some self-anointed.
Where have all the “doers” gone? The executioners? The action takers, those who preach the Gospel, and sometimes use words to do so?
Where on the “action-hero” continuum do you fall? Oh yes, there is such a thing. Super-hero characters, real or fictional, have one thing in common – action!
Homelessness is not my cause. It’s an issue that needs action, and one I choose to act on. It’s that simple. What moves you?Remember this; compassion without action is a waste of emotion.
I encourage faith in action. Heck, if you have no faith, I encourage action – then watch the faith return. Faith in you, in U.S. and in those who benefit from your being. Get off your knees and “pray walking” Chapter 5 of my book The Tap says.
