Doing Good Deeds

At what point do we take the time from our busy schedules to do a good deed? We hear about "Paying It Forward", when a stranger does something nice without being asked, then the recipient continues the cycle of generosity. But why do we need to wait until someone has to remind us to think of others besides ourselves. Instead of "Paying It Forward", we could live a life of "Daily Compassion". It's not the big things that count, but being thoughtful about the plight of those who are in need. We are all angels in our own way, sent to help others. We are always being given assignments, if we would just be more aware of the universal messages that are sent to us. Today, do something for someone. Don't think too hard. Actions speak louder than words. Reflect upon how it feels to be compassionate. If you let your inner spirit lead you, just imagine the places you could go. It's time to let the universal energy flow through you.


Like lifeguards, we need to keep an eye on who may need our help...

(Doing something good for people gets to be a habit if we let it.
When it does, we don't think about being nice or compassionate,
it just seems like the right thing to do.
I'm not sure if it makes me feel better,
 all I know is that I am compelled to do it.)
