What do you do??
I find it important that I, no matter how small the effort is, do whatever I can to help make the world around me a better place. I think everyone would be so much better off if more people followed this philosophy. I take many steps on a regular basis to make sure that I am living the best life I can and helping others do the same. So, what do I do you may ask. Here are just a few things:
1. Hold the door (or elevator) open if I see someone coming. I do this one with a crutch, they are actually rather good at holding things open! 2. Volunteer wherever I can! I put multiple hours helping disabled kids, mentoring children who may not have a male figure in their life, helping people in poverty learn about success, and so many other things. Note: I do not do this for credit I do it because it makes me feel good! It has been suggested that maybe if I lessened my volunteering my heart would be a little better and I would be able to make more money. This may be true but I see no end in sight so I will continue. 3. Talk to a random stranger: If I see someone I will talk to them. You never know how much that may mean or what kind of friendships you could form. And to that person, just knowing that someone out there actually cares about their life enough to talk to them, that could change someone's whole day! 4. Avoid judgement: No one likes to be judged so why should you judge others. Avoid such judgements and you may very well find that your life has much less stress! There are many more I could list, but that wasn't the point of the thread. The point of this thread is to give you examples of what I do and ask you this one simple question. What do you do to make the world a better place? Any feedback would be appreciated and if your answer is not much, hey you always have time to change that! Thanks and have a great day! Jeremy Ryan
