As I was reading this week, I became reflective of my own life, goals, and actions. I was recently asked to fill in for someone and go down to Kentucky for a Habitat for Humanity trip. The trip was leaving in two weeks. I have a responsibility to camp and to my schoolwork, so I decided begrudgingly that I could not accept the offer. As I was reading about making contributions, I was constantly thinking of that service trip and the others I have taken part in. Every time I have gone on a service trip, I have been able to see my contributions and the contributions of others, and the impact that can have. It feels like a retreat or a mini-vacation. The atmosphere is clear, hopeful, and friendly. People treat others with such kindness and respect. Helping others with our own contributions is a magnificent feeling, which I believe can be contagious. It reminds me of the Liberty Mutual commercials where someone witnesses a good deed done for a stranger and then pass it on.
@Felicia,
I share the same feelings about reflecting on my life goals and actions. I have always felt a great satisfaction when helping others. I have never understood how some can see others suffer while they have the power to do something but they choose to do nothing. After finishing my masters I’ll find some way to continue to make contributions to humanity.
