On my way to work this morning I heard on the news from Cape Girardeau, MO over 1,000 people (men, women, and children) who don't have dental insurance but were in need of dental care were provided, free of charge, the care they needed through the Missouri Mission of Mercy program at the Show Me Center.
Preliminary estimates showed 2,600 extractions, 1,165 fillings and 630 cleanings, with about $962,000 in care. I was humbled by the willingness of a community to aid in meeting the needs of its citizens.
Doing for others with what we have it the best way to spread positivity throughout the lives of others. Doing for others by its very nature is generally a subtle, soft, and quiet act. But love and compassion are alive and every day is a new awakening in finding your own unique way to give from a genuinely positive place and also receive graciously. Just imagine the impact if everyone chose to consciously think good, speak good, and do good for others in their worlds.
The beautiful thing about doing for others is the fact it doesn’t matter where you live or go to school, if you are a farmer or a teacher, which cultural group you belong to or the past you have; doing good holds the power to liberate you from the old and help you find your place, in a way doing for others is the most inspiring, empowering and life-enriching act you can commit.
Doing for others as a first priority allows more and more people to discover and express their authentic true selves. In revealing our uniqueness through good, we create a new reality which emphasizes universal humane values, boosting growth and happiness to all.
The time is now, it is up to each and every one of us to replace our old patterns; to realize everyone is capable of making a huge difference.
Keep looking up. : ) AJ
