10 Simple Ways to Change the World

I have had an unbelievable summer with the most unbelievable friend here. I will think about it and learn from it for the rest of my life. At the beginning of the summer, three of us (me, Dee, and Hannah) scratched out a list. We dubbed it "10 Simple Ways to Change the World." We came up with more than ten. The idea is this...there are SIMPLE ways...that today...we can change the world.

The only thing that I've ever seen change my world, is me. The way I love. The way I love God, the way I love others, the way I love me. So, here are some ideas for you. For you to change your world.

1. Befriend an enemy.
2. Buy your coworker coffee.
3. Take somebody to lunch.
4. Ask somebody how they're doing, how they're really doing.
5. Babysit for free.
6. Believe in yourself.
7. Paint someone's nails.
8. Don't be afraid to take the road less traveled.
9. Write a love note to someone.
10. Think before you speak.
11. Say yes.
12. Be authentic.
13. Volunteer on your day off.
14. Give without expecting anything in return.
15. Spend time with someone without looking at your phone.
16. Hold the door for someone.
17. Start conversation in an elevator.
18. Look a person in the eyes.
19. Have confidence in yourself.
20. Embarrass yourself.
21. Make someone a mixed cd of feel-good songs.
22. Have conversation face to face.
23. Offer someone a ride.
24. Buy an extra item and give it to the cashier.
25. Buy a loaf of bread and make sandwiches for the homeless.
26. Use your Starbucks money for something good.
27. Cook a meal for someone in need or struggling.
28. Tell someone you love them.

And if you would like a cheat sheet that I have come to live by...

1. Love God. FULLY.
2. Love others. FULLY.
3. Love yourself. FULLY.
