What Good are You?

33 of 45 Moments of Wonder

I wish I could do more. I wish I were capable to bringing more good into the world. But I am not. I try each day to make the lives of the people I work with and serve just a little better each day. Sometimes I succeed and other times I reflect and ask myself how I could act differently.

The world we live in is filled with obstacles to overcome. It is full of people who will deceive you and destroy you. But we have choices. We can choose to give up and become like those people, or we can choose to be a light in the world. I have been struggling with this for some time. How do I address a person’s bad behaviour? I have tried contacting the person and was willing to talk. Unfortunately I was met with a cease and desist type of email. So what am I going to do now? I am going to look at the world around me and see where some good is needed. I can’t change how someone reacts to me but I can do good for others.

Look around your world, your community, your neighbourhood. Where is there an opportunity for you to bring some good into the world? When you do, please tell me about it. I could use some encouragement today and you all bring me so much encouragement.

Go out and make the world better!
