My son was recently accepted to his first-choice college. It happened on Fat Tuesday, so we were all in a joyous mood. The next day, I thought that I should try to do some good, and stopped to get ashes before going to work. My company was also holding a blood drive, and I donated a pint, which also helped my friend (a Blood Captain). But it also made me feel really good, and I had a great day in terms of productivity. This feeling was sustained for the rest of the week.
It got me thinking about the opportunities that we have to do a little good, whether helping a coworker in the office, or a complete stranger asking for directions. As long as this buzz persists, I’m going to make more of an effort to be proactive with helping others.
