What if you could change the world
by simply making someone’s day? |
In August 2006 we celebrated Jayme’s 30th birthday by helping our local Habitat for Humanity. Children, team members, and friends of Jayme helped decorate the Habitat trailer, blow in insulation, and other odd jobs to help build the Habitat house. In May 2006 a large group of our team members took off time to help out with Special Olympics and to help cheer on our special athletes. For Christmas 2005 our team with the help of our guests raised over $600 in a gift basket raffle to go towards a local family in need during the holiday season. Our team then contributed an additional $300 worth of clothes and toys to add to our gift basket. In 2005 we donated over $5000 in money and gift certificates to our local community. WHAT IF YOU COULD CHANGE THE WORLD BY SIMPLY MAKING SOMEONE’S DAY? Thousands of people have already experienced the wisdom of “Daymaking.” It’s a project we can all engage in. There's nothing to join, just an attitude to adopt. The ripple effect it creates has the power to change the world. The effects of Daymaking can be profound, offering you a way to significantly impact your community. It creates a tipping point in which the pendulum is biased in the direction of kindness, care, love and joy. Just notice the people you encounter each day and provide a small gesture to make their day. Give them the quality of attention that makes them feel important, smart, beautiful, or unique. It’s nearly impossible to focus on your own problems when you’re living life as a Daymaker. It only takes a moment to make someone else’s day. Each of those moments can sustain us. Those moments can even change lives. WHAT IS DAYMAKER? Imagine a world where we put the needs of others first, and contribute to their happiness? What goes around comes around. If we change our negative thoughts, opinions, and emotions into nurturing, loving thoughts and actions, we can literally change our world. There is a spiritual revolution occurring where people are becoming more aware and committed to a world full of love, light, joy, and abundance. Many have written about it, many more have read about it. Now it’s time to take what we have learned and act on it. Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world, indeed it's the only thing that ever has.” It all has to start somewhere, why not with you, your family, your friends, and your community? It’s simple. Start consciously making other people’s happiness part of what makes you happy, what fills you up, what makes the world a better place. I believe that I will see this in my lifetime and I invite you to help in this effort by simply making every day a joyful one by serving someone else in big or small ways. You have not lived a perfect day until you have done something for someone without expecting them to repay you. We can experience the best in life by Daymaking.
