CAN DO
How many times have we stood there
and asked someone, “Hey what can
I do to help around here?” Of course
we say that in some kind of group
setting - like before or after a meeting
when people are setting up tables or
chairs - or what have you. Well, the
secret of happiness is to make a list
of things we can do everyday like:
Listen to someone - like saying, “Wait a
minute, repeat what you just said. I find
that very interesting” and you mean it.
Thank someone - like saying, “I really
appreciate all you do around here -
especially the little things that I can’t do.
For example,...”
Ask people great questions like, “Dad
how do you want to be remembered?”
Or, “What was a movie that really moved
you?” Or a book you couldn’t put down?
Or a song you found yourself singing
when alone?” Or, “Who encouraged you?”
And then do what we can do!
