You don’t have to help everyone

But you can help the person in front of you. 

We often get overwhelmed when we see a problem. “There are so many people suffering from this. I don’t even know where to start.”

That thinking paralyzes us from taking any action. Because we can’t understand how we can possibly solve the big issue, we do nothing. 

The solution is simple: help the person in front of you. Right now. In this moment. 

Then, when the opportunity presents itself again, repeat.

One thing, one person, one idea at a time. 

It’s a lot better than nothing at all.

Service to others, no matter the times.

Regardless of quarantines, social distancing, and other methods of protecting ourselves physically, we can still find ways to serve others.

Many of us will be mowing our lawns today. How difficult would it be to push the lawnmower over one yard and take care of your neighbor’s?

Perhaps you still have a job, but a friend of yours does not. Order groceries and have them delivered to her door (it’s even more fun if you keep it anonymous).

Cook a casserole for your mother, wrap it up, and leave it on the front porch.

Keep yourself and others safe, but still find ways to contribute to others.
