How to Help make The World a better place one person at a time

I was thinking about this yesterday when I was going to lunch with a friend. We were stopped at a red light, and a man was there in the sidewalk with a sign asking for work. Well I could not give him a job, but I could help him get something to eat. I got the man's attention and gave him only twenty dollars. I asked him to pass on a helping hand to some one else.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• open mind
• open heart
• will to care about others

1. Think about all the people in your circle of the world. What if one of them needed help and you weren't there, wouldn't you like to think some one out there would. Every one needs help sometime. It could be getting directions, fixing a flat, the little things count.

2. Help some one out side your circle. People follow by example. Every one likes a good role model. Family and friends will notice and follow . The feeling you get when you help a total stranger is great. It is great because we ARE supposed to help each other and that feeling is there to remind us to do it again and again.

3. Once a small group of people start helping strangers, the pattern will grow. It only take a small act of kindness to get it done. Remember there is always some one watching. Hopefully they will follow your lead. If every one in the world did this, the problems that are here, would not be.

4. So the next time you see some one in need of even the littlest thing, try to help and remember the feeling you get when you do.

Tips & Warnings

• The more people you help, the more you get in return. We ALL help in one way or another.
• The good feeling you get won't go away,and you will always remember it.
