So my girlfriend R and I went to the birthday party of the guy she was dating immediately previous to me. Awkward! Or at least you'd think so. When we arrived, he was trying to make a minty mixed drink of some kind when we arrived. He couldn't get the syrup right. I had the instinct to say something like, "Ha, ha! She's mine now, sucker!"
But we made syrup together instead.
ONE GOOD DEED: Bond with my girlfriend's ex-lover instead of getting into a fight.
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.
