TO DO LIST
Did you ever notice that your to-do list is all about you? When is the last time you made a to-list that involved other people? It sounds strange but the discipline of writing down a list of ways you are going to bless somebody is quite refreshing. Even more exhilarating is to cross off the list as your week goes by. Here are a few ideas:
-Buy a cup of coffee for the person in line behind you
-Compliment a stranger
-Write down what you are grateful for
-Hold the door for somebody
-Leave a big tip
-Call someone you have been meaning to
-Say thank you
-Listen with all of your might
-Don’t have an agenda when meeting with somebody
-Turn your phone off when you are with people
-Give blood
-Drop off clothes at Goodwill
-Bring a friend dinner
-Have grace for those closest to you
-Be slow to anger while driving
-Count your blessings
-Smile
-Call your Mom
-Be nice
-Offer to pick up groceries for a neighbor
As you Chief Encouragement Officer, I want to offer you a bit of respite from yourself. Thinking about others is one thing, doing things for others is quite another. Let’s go out this week with a mission to make somebody else’s life better!
It’s not about you,
