3 Ideas to Change a Life

Just off the top of my head today, 3 ideas to change a life:

1. Stop and talk with a stranger.  I know as children we are told not to talk to strangers.  But the stuff you learn when you talk to someone you aren’t already friends with could be amazing.   And let me clarify, don’t talk at a stranger, talk with them. Converse.  Have a conversation. Listen. Ask a question. Reply.  That’s it.  You can take it further if you want but you don’t have to.
2. Stop and do something for someone else that they don’t want to do.  Not the thing your parent or spouse have been nagging you to do, (do that too), but something unexpected.  And don’t brag about it, just do it out of kindness.
3. Stop and forgive.  Or ask for forgiveness.  We live lives that have broken and sharp edges that need to be smoothed out.  You know who you need to do this with.  Go ahead and take that step.

These 3 ideas will change the lives of the people you do this with.

But the surprise effect is that they will also change your life.
