How Do You Make The World Better?

[Rhymesometimes]

When you think about everything that seems to be going wrong with the world, it's overwhelming, depressing and can make you feel helpless or stuck.  But I believe we can.  Let's spread kindness and compassion on a global scale.

Over the years I've done lots of volunteer work within my children's school, through our church and in the community. Even writing limericks in this on-line community gives some a little entertainment, ( and if I'm doing it right ) a chuckle. The experience that has been the most impactful for me is my volunteer work at a women's foundation.

How have you make the world a better place?  Apathy is our enemy, reach out! Share your stories, inspire people.

We can all make a difference if we start with ourselves. Spreading kindness and magic in the world is a goal I have. I've volunteered at my children's schools and at church as well. I teach my children to be kind to others by demonstrating it. I wave to neighbors while I'm driving down the road, I ask cashiers how they're doing and say their name when I leave their register (they have name tags so you'll know who they are), I help others in need, and treat strangers like a friend.

@santaboba  The world does need more kindness and magic, thank you for spreading a positive, welcoming vibe!  You are awesome!

Thank you for the kind words, @Rhymesometimes! I'm glad I found this thread to join. I think it's great to share what we do to make the world a better place and I enjoy reading about what others are doing in their communities.

@santaboba Thank you so much!  I really appreciate you saying that.  You definitely understand why I wanted to start this. There is so much in life that is out of our hands.  But, it's comforting and inspiring to know there's a lot of good tangible things going on in the world, and kind, caring people with integrity who are making a difference.  🎉Let's celebrate that! 🎉

@Rhymesometimes By being as compassionate a person that I can be. It's not easy to do these days, especially with all of the selfishness in the world. I also believe in saying thank you to people, whether it's for something nice that they did for me or even for working during the pandemic. I still hold doors for people though that seems to be a lost art too. My parents had a huge impression on me and I am so thankful that they did. Life's not easy but we can make it better by just doing the little things that matter.
