Daily Question, July 16

What small changes could I make that would make a big difference in my life or the lives of others?

  • not to always have the last word….

  • Malag

    I could do some journaling. Haven’t done that in some time.

  • Lioness

    Remember not to be so serious, to embrace the inner child and realise life is about more…more joy…more love…more time…more life!

  • Don Jones

    Being more available to be of service.

  • Dusty Su
    Definitely by not being so consumed by anxiety, worry, or the business at hand of each day. When I am able to live in a place of faith-filled gratitude, joy, love, I have a much more outwards look. Others benefit from this as do I. I find that it takes a two-handed approach. One is to sit still at the beginning of the day (better yet, the night before,) and prioritize what needs doing in an A, B, C style. A. Must be done. B. Try to do. C. Would be nice to do.

Also, to always leave enough wriggle room for spontaneity as Spirit would lead.

    More self care of my physical and mental health will make a difference in my life and the lives of others.

  • PhilG

    Show more love to all beings. Be more aware of the pain in others and treat them with love and compassion. Cultivate peace in my heart and reach out and share that peace and light with others.

  • Lyla

    To learn how to love myself.

  • Maeve

    Smile and make eye contact with the people in my house today. Thank Suzanne, thank Alan, and Donna. Tell Neil you appreciate him for all his work in the house and garden.

    Work on planting and weeding today. Create beauty!!

  • Zenith

    I am entering my 3rd month of the practice of gratefulness. It is changing me. I am trusting that it is impacting other people.

  • Spring

    Smile at the strangers. Be present and make eye contact with people I encountered.

  • Michele

    Being a good listener, kindness, compassion, affection, smiling- all make big differences in the lives of others and in my life.

  • Diana

    Focus more on developing healthy habits for my body – daily exercise, better nutrition.

  • Patricia

    The small change I have already made was putting gratefulness.org as my home page, visiting the site daily and focussing on gratefulness each morning and as I bring it to mind during the day. This is the change I want to continue….

    • Michele

      I’m became a member in April of 2018 and I’m so glad I did. This website and everyone is so beneficial to healthy living:)

  • Angela Andre

    I could prioritize my time better. I have many goals, but a hard time getting started. I break them down into smaller steps, but I still struggle to tackle them. Perhaps this is because I am not scheduling time to work on them every day or even weekly. Today, my goal is to do just that; schedule one hour blocks where I work on some aspect of a goal.

    • Zenith

      I have a blog about goals if you would be interested in checking it out. Leave a comment on my entry and I will leave the address. I don’t want to promote myself here.

  • Ineke Bennink

    Meer het huis uitgaan en mensen bezoeken.

  • Sharon

    Trust and be fearless. Concentrate on trusting and following through with my intentions.

  • sunnypatti

    More meditation. More trusting the process and God. More confidence in myself.

  • Howie Geib

    I could engage more. I am a bit of a recluse. So I resist connection for the sake of connection. This is a small adjustment on my part and could be as simple sending notes, post cards, and emails to folks. Something that does take an effort (not just liking something on FB or the like).

    • Zenith

      Check out Soldier’s Angels and The Letter Exchange. The first is for soldiers overseas and is for volunteering to write them letters. The other is for yourself. I am active in both.

  • Trish

    Surrender. All of my life I’ve been taught to “take care of business”, “rise to the top”, “show the world what you’ve got.” What I now know is that when I step back, shut up & allow God to work through me everything unfolds….without me trying to control it all. Somehow God does it without my help (imagine that.) I might like to think I’m pretty smart & have the answers but in the end~I just need to surrender.
