how many times during the day do you think of something you could do to benefit someone else? even to the point of inconveniencing your own day/bank account/time/etc. this is something small like grabbing a co-worker a starbucks on your ride in....something big like letting someone in need stay with you rent free...
anything really.
what if we acted on all of those thoughts?
today i was thinking about how many times i come up with little things that i could do for people and how rarely i actually do them. sometimes i just forget. other times, i think it would cost too much. but, let's be honest...you see someone walking along the side of the road and you see storm clouds a'brewin. do you offer them a ride...? these days? or is that just an excuse...do we just not want to be bothered?
i challenge you to entertain 75% of those thoughts...those selfless thoughts...Ok, 75% too much right now? start off smaller...do 50%. we don't have to be legalistic about it.
you'll be amazed with what happens.
you'll be amazed with the smile of pure joy that will envelope your face.
(wait...would that make it selfish then...?) ;)
