Day 24

• Wouldn't it be great if we all came into this world with the intention to leave it better than we found it? Wouldn't it be great if we all were able to accept our lot in life (assuming we have food, shelter, health and basic necessities) and just focus on somehow improving the lives of others? How wonderful would it be, if when we passed we knew that we had left behind something just the tiniest bit improved? I know I would. Although I'm not sure how that would work.
  
  A teacher of mine once mentioned that he was the only student in a class he was taking. His professor continued to teach him anyway. Now my teacher literally teaches thousands through the power of the internet. His professor, didn't know it at the time, but he created a ripple effect and the effects may continue forever.
  
  Another teacher mentioned not focusing on the results. To "just keep swimming" and do good until you understand where to focus your efforts.
  
  Because it's so important to just try and do good in this world where terrible things happen. To just show complete strangers love and care and understanding. To just smile and acknowledge each other as human beings. 
  Because it's the small drops that came together to create giant oceans. So I think the small opportunities and the small deeds are nothing to scoff at. And today, #24, it's them that I'm grateful for. .
