Isn’t it hard to get out of bed somedays! Especially during this soggy weather in Florida. Sleeping to the sound of rain is so relaxing. This reminds we of what we are going through in the economy these days. It is a cleansing and a time for us to rest, take stock of our lives, both personally, professionally and most importantly spiritually.
We are learning lessons, that our parents and grandparents learned, about what is most important in life and it’s not that next promotion, next new gadget, next new car. It’s what’s inside that counts. What are you doing today to enhance your life and that of others?
Try this! Do one thing each day that no one knows you are doing that will enhance someone else’s life.
A few years ago, I chose to return my shopping cart to the proper area or evenly directly into the store, every time I went shopping. I wanted to make someone else’s life a little easier by having one less cart to move and to take responsibility by not littering the parking lot with one more cart. Now after 3 or 4 years it is a habit! No one knows I am doing it (now you d0!), but I know that one less cart to move, just may make someone’s life easier that day.
It could be a shopping cart, picking up a papertowel on the bathroom floor and putting it in the trash, letting another driver get in front of you (even though you are about to scream in the traffic) or picking up some litter on the street where you live. The rule is, you may not tell the other person you are doing it!
I challenge you to try this for 30 days and let me know how that works for you. I promise your life will be better for it, knowing that you did something today to help someone else.
