Give back to the community. That is 5 easy words. Just find a way to give back in some way. Please fasten your seat belts, this is about to be my Jerry McGuire moment.
I believe we need to give our time, attention, and resources to others. If there is something you can do to help another, do it. This accomplishes many things... you help another, you help your own inner Spirit, and without being vocal of your own accomplishments... people will automatically recognize you as a "good person".
I will not take it to a deeper level and talk about Karma or anything like that. It is very simple, if you are in a position to help another or mankind in general... why wouldn't you do it? Who knows, one day we will all be on the receiving end of it if we all live long enough and need assistance.
Today I was a courier for the Eye Bank of Oregon through the West Linn Lions Club International. The Lions focus on Sight & Hearing. Today I got "the call" as a courier. They needed me to pick up some eyes in a cooler at the eye bank and rush them to the airport so they can fly to where doctors and patients are prepped and ready for surgery... they just need the missing parts. The sad thing is that these eyes were in someone who was an organ donor just not very long ago. Somebody just passed away because timing on these things are critical. The upside of it all is that somebody else, someone living will have sight because of it.
I would recommned volunteering anyway you can and anyway you see fit. I would also recommend that you consider being a donor... eyes, heart, liver, whatever... I'm pretty sure it will get better use from the living than the deceased.
Let's try to make this already beautiful world and even better place.
