I'm at my parents' winter home in Mesa, Arizona. When I got up this morning I thought I'd go for a walk, and asked for a plastic bag. My mom said, "Are you gonna pick up trash?" How did she know I was going to do that? "We're a lot alike," she said.
ONE GOOD DEED: Pick up trash around Mesa, Arizona.
What's going on here?
I've made a commitment: to do one good deed per day. Large or small, it doesn't matter. Self-sacrificing or not, extraordinary or mundane, it doesn't matter. Just one thing every day, that's all.
The more I do good, the better I feel about myself. Truly, to benefit others is to benefit yourself. I hope this journal may inspire others who also yearn to do good. So join me on this journey, if you will, and think about the difference you can make in your own life.
