Do something you don't have to do

There are times whether at home or work, or out with friends that you notice a little something extra that needs to be done. Well it seems the current generation has plenty of reasons not to go that extra step.

'It isn't in my job description'
'No one ever does it for me'
'I don't want to get involved'
'That is her/his chore, let him/her do it'

I am sure you can think of a dozen more common sayings; and yes they probably are correct. But that doesn't make it right!!! There are even those who will take advantage of you if you do something extra, well that is their loss.

Going above and beyond, whether it is making coffee for the clerk who has been busy or picking up some garbage you see laying on the ground. Maybe taking out the trash or drying dishes for a sibling, maybe serving your spouse a special treat right where they are. Look around you, is there something, some little thing you could do to make someone else's day more pleasant? Even if only one out of 10 says thank you or appreciates that you did it, then you have made a difference in that life and it was worth it. It is my wish that we each do at least one thing for someone else today, how about you???
