How difficult is it to do something nice?

Everybody has a gift, a talent, or an ability. There's people right around you that really need it.
A gift isn't a gift 'til you give it away. It's not measured by how many people like it; it's measured by how much one other person needs it.
You don't need to be a superhero, you just simply need be willing to give.

"Charity," doing something nice for somebody, doing the right thing once in a while, help out once in a while, are all topics I will touch on in another post. From my point of view, there isn't enough of this type of activity now-a-days - people helping out, or doing nice things for others. Because, now, more than ever, it is needed, and is required for the world to change, or to "become a better place."

Think to yourself. What are your abilities? "God-given" talents? Are you good at doing something constructive? Hobbies? Are you letting this ability/talent go to waste? Do you use it just for your benefit?
For example:
Do you like to play Football? Is there a Boys and Girls club in your area, or an after school program at your local elementary/middle school?
Can you knit or crochet? Do you have tons of yarn in your storage? A non-profit called Operation Gratitude sends Care Packages to deployed military, veterans, and wounded warriors. During their Holiday drive, a hand-knit scarf (donated) is put into every Care Package that goes out.

thought for the day

"The first wealth is health." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

People who count their blessings, people who were sick with a type of illness, virus, or disease, those given a 'second chance' at life (i.e. cancer survivors, or someone who went through a life-threatening experience), people who might've lost a substantial amount of their possessions, possibly their house, recognize this quite often, I don't doubt.

Now, the stereotypical 'wealthy' businessmen, persons with lots of wealth/money, persons caught up with their possessions, the superficial beings forget about this, I'm sure. They wouldn't be where they are, or be able to maintain their status if it wasn't for their first wealth - health.

choose to be happy

see? being happy is only a matter of your choosing.
If you're going through an unhappy situation (ie loss of loved one), the sadness will pass.
If you're going through a break up/divorce, of course there is some time for sadness & you'll miss them, but only let those thoughts stay for a short time, then move on to positivity.

All of this is only possible through practice. "The Shadows will move now, before we're ready."-Delenn
