I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness, like holding the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Perhaps you have some untapped talent you may regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Contributions
There are many ways to contribute to our beautiful world.
Some may contribute financially, while others would prefer to give their time. Either commodity is a beautiful gift from a beautiful heart. However, these are not the only ways to impact our planet.
For some, a financial contribution may not always be feasible. Likewise, donating one’s time may also not be possible.
There are many other ways to contribute daily to our world. For example, simple acts of kindness and compassion. Smiling at someone who may be down, speaking encouraging words to children and holding a door, or assisting someone with a struggle, like reaching the top shelf. It is also possible to give a small financial gift, such as if you see someone who appears hungry or thirsty. You could buy them a meal. You can also be sure to tip your server well.
This is one of the ways I like to help because I know that servers are only paid a few dollars an hour and rely on tips to get them to minimum wage. Since a tip is a gift, I always try to give a little more. Also, the server contributes to improving my life by supplying a service.
Almost every job helps to enrich life on our planet. For example, a clerk in a store so that you can easily purchase things you need. Also, a server in a restaurant, so that you can enjoy a meal out, including the workers at a fast-food place. At the same time, construction workers can help you with your home or public facilities or fix the road. Some people work with animals. Likewise, we know how vital teachers, health professionals, farmers and ranchers, writers, and artists are. I can keep going on, but it is safe to say most jobs greatly enrich our lives in some way.
We may not consider all these jobs as essential to improving our lives. However, each plays a part in contributing to a more harmonious world and, therefore, is also contributing to our lives in some way.
Today’s challenge:
Be kind to the clerk and tip your server well.
