What is the one way, the most important way, that you can improve someone else’s life today?  What one thing can you do to help someone feel, at the end of today, that they are happier, more successful, more loved, a better person?  And how will you feel after you have accomplished this one thing for someone else?

Start each day considering the opportunities that you have each day to improve someone else’s life.  The action could be as simple as doing your work to the best of your ability so that everyone around you benefits.  It could be smiling at every person you meet because you never know if one of those people was desperate for a smile.  One phone call to a loved one or an old friend could brighten their day.  A dollar to a homeless person that you pass on the street could make a difference.  Treating someone who serves you as a person and not as an ignorable servant could make that person feel important for a moment.  Each of these actions is simple and easy for you to do but could be hugely significant to the recipient of this action.

And then there are the more complex, perhaps a little more challenging actions you can take.  Is there a cause that you can contribute to today, time or money or support of some kind, that could make a greater impact on something important in the world?  Is there someone you need to contact who might be feeling neglected or unloved because you have been too busy to be with them and can you find time today to give them a call or a visit?  Do you know someone who is in the hospital who would be cheered if you took the time to stop by or call or send a card?  Again, these actions would not be terribly difficult for you to accomplish but they could be very important to the recipient of your concern.

On a deeper level, is there someone that you need to forgive?  Some situation that you need to resolve?  Is there a relationship that needs healing?  A person you have wronged and don’t know how to make things right with them?  Maybe there is a family member who feels you have misunderstood them or their actions but you are too stubborn to let them explain or correct the situation.  Is there someone who has misunderstood you but you’re too proud to go to them to try to clear things up?  Today is the day to take care of a situation of this kind.

Whatever you can do today to create positive energy in the lives around you benefits you as well as the other or others in that situation.  You feel good when you have helped another person have a better day.  You feel good when you have improved someone’s life or helped a worthy cause to have more effect in the world.  You feel better when a sticky situation has been resolved or when a misunderstanding has been cleared up.  You benefit from taking the first step toward clarification, resolution, improvement.  And so do others.

Think about what one thing you can do today for others.  Do that one thing.  Do it because it is better for the world if you do one thing for another. You will be happy that you have taken that small step and your life will be the one that improves.

Take one small step for a human and it will turn into one giant leap for humankind.  [Thank you, Neil Armstrong.]

And so it is.
