Daily Question, November 13

What one thing can I do today to make a positive difference for others?

  • Noodn4

    Be kind and generous to everyone, be in the present moment and totally dedicated when i connect.

  • WendiShuff

    BE KIND. Treat EVERYONE with dignity and respect!

  • Malag

    In the maelstrom of many adults living in the house I will find a spot to do a thorough tidy.

  • Antoinette

    I volunteered for the most part of the day and I hope this will have a positive impact.

  • Don Jones

    To take full responsibility.

  • Gicelo

    Para marcar una diferencia positiva para los demás puedo hablar constructivamente, ser muy agradecido, recordarles sus dones y talentos y servirles en todo lo que sea posible.

    • Michele

      translation: To make a positive difference for others, I can speak constructively, be very grateful, remind them of their gifts and talents, and serve them in any way possible.

  • DeVonna

    Take care of myself. An empty vessel can not pour out into another. I have to be consistent and intentional in my daily devotions and meditation/prayer, so that I am capable of recognizing need and reaching out.

    I vow to spend time strengthening my connection to God, who enables me to serve others.

  • Beth Mary

    Stay positive, be prayerful and light virtual candles. Let the Light shine! I am going through a family crisis and need to stay positive and uplifted, as to not be pulled down by negative and chaotic family drama. I can’t help family members or others to be positive and inspired if I am not positive myself.

    Lighting virtual candles and reading articles on gratefulness on this website I find are very encouraging and uplifting.

    • Michele

      I enjoy lighting candles on this website as well. Sending you strength and patience as you deal with your family crisis.

      • Beth Mary

        Thank you for your kind words. And I will light a candle for you, Michele. Hope, peace, joy and love.

    • DeVonna

      Dear Zoe, I’m sorry your family is struggling right now, but I am grateful you recognize the role you can play by working on your own peace moving forward. I said a prayer for you, just now.

  • Yanina Vashchenko

    More than 15 years ago, I met Brother David in person. He was so humble that I perceived a spiritual glow emanating from him. Clearly, he has put forth such amazing energy that it continues through time and space and into infinity.

    One thing I can do today is to try to humble myself as much as possible and try to bend down towards Brother David and his Light.

  • Lauryn

    Refrain from negativity of any kind. There are so many great answers below- I think I’ll compile a list for myself just as a daily reminder. 🙂

  • Jim

    Yes, stay home, wear a mask and be kind!,

  • Linda

    Stay home. Wear a mask. Be kind.

  • DrDarkstorm

    Instead of being angry or upset at a person, reflect on what I a grateful from that person doing for me in my life. That will change my interactions with that person and make their life have more light in it.

  • GCharlotte

    Smile.

  • Papilio

    After being out of commission for a few days due to migraines, I feel I’m ready to care for others. I’ll reach out a friend today, whose younger brother died by suicide in 10 months ago.

    • Michele

      My son’s best friend committed suicide July 13th 2020. I’m sure your friend will appreciate your kindness and reaching out to them. With the holidays around the corner this is going to be very difficult and add Covid to it that much more to bear.

    • DeVonna

      Dear Papilio, I am so glad you’re feeling better! Blessings to you as you reach out to your friend.

  • Zenith

    Offer a kind word, and watch my attitude. I have grown confident in the competence gained from life experience. I forget that not everyone has had the same blessing and that I need to build people up.

  • Patricia

    Howie said it already: “Wear a mask.” And then, beyond that, stay home as much as possible and model caution through my own behavior. And then, beyond that, a phone call to Doreen who is in a nursing facility…. And then, beyond that …. I’ve got a list.

  • Rhea

    Today, I’m going to focus on thinking before I speak. I’ve seen how one negative person can lead to another and another- the cycle continues. If I can detach from negative emotions, I can figure out where it’s coming from and address it from there. We don’t always have a say in what happens to us, but we can control how we react and respond to life.

  • Trish

    I’m going to focus on listening with my whole heart as I navigate through my day. Before I leave the encounter I’ll share a brief positive reflection of what I heard.

  • Lioness

    I need to be kind to myself and try to refocus. Being away from home is proving difficult, living in an environment that I am unable to change is getting to me and I am feeling incredibly emotional. I need to refocus me and my wellbeing in order that I can make a positive difference all round and be the support that my nieces need me to be.
