Today is the day

Today (and every day) is the day to contribute. You can make each moment meaningful by doing the generous thing, for yourself or someone else.

By generous, I mean the thing with the most humanity. It could be offering eye contact, a smile, holding a door, picking up the phone, sharing gratitude, lending a listening ear, putting in that little extra planning to make it special, or offering an idea that could be judged in hopes of making a positive change. The moments of connection that you receive and create are what will make your life meaningful. If you want more meaning, contribute more. Your generosity is a renewable resource, and in fact, it is likely that the more you give, the more you will have to give.

Take a moment to envision your upcoming day and the things you will be doing. How could you show up with more humanness and heart, hoping to make things even just a tiny bit better? The little things are the big things because your life is made up of only a series of moments. Right now is the moment; today is the day.
