Do something really nice – that no one knows about.
Spend more money on other people than I spend on my self. Love my neighbor as I love myself. And love myself as I love my neighbor.
Laugh often… especially at advertisements that try to convince me that I must buy more stuff in order to be happy.
Learn a new life skill – like carpentry, pottery, or canning vegetables. Teach someone else I life skill I know how to do.
Love a few people well, remembering that what is important is not how much we do but how much love we put into doing it.
Write a letter to someone I need to say thank you to. Write another letter to someone I need to ask to forgive me.
Track down a critic or someone I disagree with and take them to lunch. Listen to them.
Compliment someone I have a hard time complimenting… and mean it.
Choose life. Do something regularly to interrupt the patterns of injustice – do something to end violence, bullying, war, capital punishment and other mean and ugly things.
Pause before every crisis and ask “will this matter in 5 years?”
Get outside often and marvel at things like fireflies and shooting stars. And regularly get my hands into the garden… so when I type on the computer I can see dirt under my fingernails.
Believe in miracles. And live in a way that might necessitate one.
