Megan Elizabeth Morris (aka MEM, Megan the M.) is a bonafide professional catalyst and adventurer. As the Ideaschema instigator, orchestrator and autodidact, she is hopelessly addicted to Making Things Happen.Martin Luther King Day fell on the 19th last year, and I wrote this:
What can you do for someone else today?
What can you do for someone else tomorrow?
How about the next day? Next week? The rest of January? February? One weekend a month for the rest of your life? And a little bit more, every day?
You can do little things, and big things. Something that makes a person smile, feel good about themselves, or something that changes their whole life. You can hand someone twenty dollars, or you can use something you know to set them up for success (worth way more than twenty dollars). You can make a difference in so many ways. (Need a list?) I bet you can think of billions more. Plenty don’t even take much effort.
But please, make an effort. Make more than an effort.
Be the person who pushes. Be the person who tries harder, the person who gets up OFF the couch and makes something happen, the person who changes the world. You have everything you need and you don’t need to wait any longer.
Something you know how to do will make an enormous impact on someone who really needs an impact, right now.
What do you say?
PS. I found this quote on Give it to me Raw today:
“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve…. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
I just don’t think I can put it any better than that.
Got an idea? Something we haven't thought of? Whatever you're thinking, we want to hear it. Please feel free to leave comments or email us by clicking here.
