Do you seize the opportunity to capture the moment if not for yourself but for someone else? When was the last time you said something nice to someone and really meant it without expecting them to say anything in return? Even more so, when is the last time you DID something for someone without expecting a reward or anything else in return?
I was reading a friends book - "ONE" the other day and read a story about an eight year old boy. A few weeks after one of his classmate's died, this eight-year-old boy decided to visit the classmate's home one day after school. Later when he returned home, his mother was surprised to find out where the boy had been. "What did you say?" she asked him gently. "Nothing," he replied. "I just sat on his mom's lap and helped her cry."
I think it's amazing that we as loving human beings have the capability to do what is best for the good of others. We all have the capability to good and we certainly have that same capability to do something bad. If we focus on constantly on doing good no matter how small or how large, our lives will be of greater value then it was the day before. Imagine the value that you add to those around you.
I just wanted to write this as it was on my mind. A long time ago I learned through Franklin Covey that if you do something for 21 days it becomes a habit. Well, this is day two of my blog... let's push for day #3, or at least blog entry #3.
Best Wishes and Good Deeds.
