....and change the world.


next time you come head-to-head at the check-out line. smile and say "go ahead". you be surprised at how it makes you feel.

next time you bump into someone. smile and apologizes. you'd be surprised at how it makes you feel.

next time someone disagrees with you. respect them for having an opinion.

next time you see a kitty. sit and and play with it for 10 mins.

next time your child asks a question. take the time to answer them honestly.

next time your mom calls. tell her you love her.

buy your friend a pack of smokes out of the blue.

pay the bridge toll for the car behind you.

help someone and ask for nothing.




little everyday things that really go a long way. the world around me seems to be taking on this "i'll kick your ass" attitude. ok fine, you kicked my ass. now what? you go brag about it? what? i don't get it? why not help someone? make a difference in their life in a positive way. i have known people who have completely changed their lives for the better because someone went out of their way to do something helpful for them. could have been a simple conversation. people just want to be loved.



talk to your children

buy a new puppy

love someone

how beautiful fdd. i didn't know you someone else cared.

u know fdd that is something i try an do on a daily basis.i give homeless money,i help people who run out of gas in the middle of the street,itry ,i really do.but once i went to help this guy who went off the side of the freeway and down this ditch,and this guy was jamming(90mph)im behind him,i pull over and rush to his car,by the way im a gangmember with tattoos on eyelids and neck,those r the ones that r visable.im yelling running down this side of the freeway,'r u ok,hey buddy,r u ok!'this man totally ignores me for about a good minute or 2.finally another motorist comes and is yelling down the side of the freeway'r u ok?the man in the wrecked car responds yes!thamk u so much for helping, i owe so much, i dont know what i would of done if u didnt come along.need less to say both of the gentlemen were caucasion.i was relived that the man was ok,but at the same timei could not believe how this man treated me when if it would of been worse,i probly would of been the one who saved his life!....to this day ive never stopped helping anyone black,brown or white.but after that there was a time that i felt...i cant find the word to desribe that feelin that i had.im a man,so dont take this wrong, like i think he owed me something,just common courtisy is what every individual has comming in my books!!......ps.i guess i am a lil scary at first sight big built,tattoos,hardend look(prison),but if people took the time to know me i am one of the best people u would ever meet......i might of went off topic for awhile,im sorry but i just relived that day at the freeway ..........rascalone..ps:i have to go get this cat out of a tree for some olady,lol

This is a great thread and I must say it really did move me. I have always told my friends and especially my younger brother to just try and help someone out and do your best to ignore stereotypes and racial bullshit.

I used to think like that until i got fed up with the feeling of getting mugged. No it doesn't make me feel good to treat someone 10x better than they would treat me.

These days I let the other person take the first move, they define the relationship.

What a great post, how we forget eh? Positive energy brings a postive life. It affects everything around you. Out attitudes and moods can ruin things or make them beautiful, such as with growing plants.
Take that time to smell the flowers and smile at strangers. You will be surprised how it makes you feel. I once even paid for the coffee for the person next in line, they thought I was crazy, but I was just in a good mood that day. The ady who I bought the coffee for, was instanly in a good mood too!

As for the puppy thing, You just have to squeeze a puppy, no feeling like it. I have 2 dogs and they are the most comforting being around.
