Wiping the Fog from My Glasses and Thinking of Someone Else

So I have been thinking lately about who I am and who I want to be when I grow up…a bit crazy for a 40-year old. I have also been thinking about society and what I think is wrong with it. Too many observations for this blog…watch for my best-selling book to come out to hear the whole story
I did come to some conclusions I want to share. I came to the conclusion that we, me included, are too self-centered, self-absorbed, self-blaming, self-deprecating, self-defeating, and self-abusive. Key word here is SELF….really how disgusting. Can anyone relate to this or the better question…can anyone admit to this? Why do we (me included) fall into the trap of only helping others in the wake of tragedies, during the holidays or on “Sundays”? Once that helping moment has passed we go back to the “Self” behaviors. Many of us have great intentions but our everyday lives take over. It is difficult to look beyond “Self” with the demands life places on us.
What would it be like if we treated one another the way we do in the wake of a tragedy, during the holidays or “Sundays”….everyday of the week? Would the world would be a better place? Would I be a better person? Would you be a better person?
It is time to find out. It is time to stop talking and start doing. Time to turn off the TV, get off Face book, leave the bar, hang up the phone and dig deep into your soul and give of yourself to others out of unconditional positive regard for people. This is not for gratitude back but for soul saving purposes (no not in the God way…that is a whole different discussion, refer to the best-selling book).
Every day for the next 365 days I am going to look outside of myself and do something nice and kind for someone else. I am convinced this will be a transformative experience for me and will change my life…let’s see
