A good deed?

This is a short and sweet (hopefully) blog today everyone, posing a simple question to us all. It's just this:

Have you done a good deed today to help someone else?

I've been reading several books and listening to a lot of inspirational people recently, and the idea of "paying if forward" and helping other people, is always one of the fundamental attitudes for success, in any business, walk of life or industry.

So I looked carefully at my life and asked myself that question. What had I done that day that was a good deed to help someone else? At first, I came up with lots of things: I'd done my job well (I'm a teacher), I'd done my children's washing, I'd made a meal - all of which are part and parcel of my every day life. But I wanted to do something more - something different and something that was not part of my every day existence. Something that was more out of the ordinary and that I may have said 'no' to, or dismissed in the past because it was exactly that - out of MY ordinary and would take an extra effort on my part.

When I looked at my 'good deeds' from that perspective, it was not so easy to write a list. And so I have set myself a challenge, to do something 'out of my ordinary' every day - something that helps someone else, that they were maybe not expecting or they would not necessarily ask for.

I'm telling you this, not for any glory or recognition - but merely to pose a question, in case anyone else feels that they could do something for someone else too. Many people here at Wealthy Affiliate help others all the time. I have been lucky enough to have received lots of help when I have asked, and I have tried to 'pay it forward' in my own way too.

So is this the day that you will do a good deed too?

What's the worst that could happen?

Wishing everyone a great Sunday/Monday - depending on where you are in the world.

Yes, I did, Gail! I had some good deeds done for me today, and I definitely repaid in kind! It ended up being a wonderful day!

That's the way it goes. Glad it's going so well. And I'm sure there'll be many more lovely surprises for you as well.

I think so too, Gail! I always try to help people when I can!

Have a GREAT new week!

Awesome message Gail!!
Just think how much better this world would be if we all went out of our way to do a kind deed!!
Today, I'm helping my daughter with 2 very sick little boys. And probably for the next few days, lol.
Thanks for sharing such a positive post!

Thanks Suzanne.
Sorry to hear you have some sick children to look after - I hope they all get well soon.

They're on the mend, but shared the germs, lol. It's my turn...🤧

Oh no - sometimes "share and share alike" is not the best!
Hope you get well soon too. x

Hi Gail,

That's such a powerful idea and the more it's followed/implemented the more momentum it will create.

Wishing you success

Best wishes
John

Thanks John. It's obviously not an original idea of mine - but I agree, it's one to be followed!
