The best way I've discovered is to simply "pay it forward". You meet someone in the market...smile and tell them you like their outfit, their hair, their choice of tofu, etc. You are driving and someone is waiting to merge into traffic...let them in. The birds love your front yard...put a plate of birdseed or cereal/bread out for them to eat. If you have neighborhood kitties and pups that come to your yard...put out your leftovers or some dry pet food and some fresh water...or even adopt one of these precious stray angels. Volunteer at the local shelter...help at one of the nursing homes as a volunteer...volunteer with the Special Olympics. You feel wonderful doing these acts of kindness....and voila! You will come home to the true bounty of God and the universe.
Anytime I help in ways like this...I try to pay it forward a few times daily, I come home to find some of the things I have wanted in my life...on my doorstep! One day I came home to find a bag of fruit that someone had left me...the next day I had to bake a pie for Father's Day and this was just the perfect fruit for the pie filling!
The Universe will always pay you back a hundred-fold for your acts of kindness...trust me, it works!

Make the personal decision that if someone is lying on the sidewalk in front of you that you will help, but if someone is lying in the sidewalk halfway around the world, you cannot help. Focus on the local, be a good citizen, and spend some time in long walks, and solitude.

we can stop worrying about those big businesses and put electric cars on the market. We can stop being racist. we can be less critical of people. even America's true moron's like Bush. we can try to at least be friendly to people even if e truly hate them. we can all help to recycle and keep our earth cleaner.

Just try to do your part- not everyone else's and do the best you can everyday. If everyone did that, this world would be a paradise.

People need to stop be stereotypical. The world would be happier if that happened.

I agree with Auntie Barbara above......totally and completely!----I try to live my life in this way too! Do good....cause what goes around comes around.....so do good....cause you only have two choices everyday...you either do things to help or hurt.
