Earlier I laid in bed for a good half hour trying to remember the jingle to the medicine commercial that is advertised as the “Nightime-Sniffling-Sneezing-Coughing-Aching-Stuffyhead-Fever-So-You-Can-Rest” medicine. I have it all: I need summa that.
I was working on a blog about "Ways to be Productive in Bed", but it didn't seem like a very purposeful thing to write about. I changed my direction towards the good of mankind, and came up with a list of ways to change the world in 30 seconds. Enjoy.
- Smile at a stranger.
- Donate old clothes to Goodwill or a homeless shelter.
- Random acts of kindness. For example, pay for the person behind you in the Starbucks drive-thru, then just drive off. It will put a smile on their face and I wouldn't be surprised if they repeated it in the future.
- Let another car merge. This is one I need to practice. Road rage kills!
- Pick up a piece of trash and put it in a garbage can.
- Return your shopping cart to the store instead of letting it roll around the parking lot.
- Tell someone you love them, and mean it.
- Say "Bless you" when someone sneezes.
- Recycle.
- Give someone another chance for a new first impression.
- Stand up straighter and walk with confidence.
- Find a way to authentically encourage someone in their efforts with a “you can do it!” comment.
- Park at the back of the parking lot instead of up front.
- Turn the heat down. (That's a tough one for me).
- Ask someone “how are you doing?” and then be ready to truly listen.
Unofficial #16.... bring Ace some potatoe soup and a fantastic new movie to watch. Figuring out how to save the world is tiring.
