As we close the chapter on 2013 and say goodbye to another
year; I wanted to share my advice for an awesome 2014. This is a once in a year
chance to start over. Forget about the resolutions to lose weight and make more
money. How about this year we do something for everyone? Let's make next year
the year of doing better, by being a better person. The old saying "It
doesn't cost anything to smile at a stranger" is so true. Did you know
this can actually make a person’s day? Think about it, if they were having a
terrible day and you were the first person to smile at them, how would that affect
them? It would make their day better. Just being kind to one another can cause
a great happiness effect. Another great idea is to compliment a stranger. Yes a
simple "I like your sweater” or “Nice hat” can change a negative mindset.
It's true; YOU have the power to change someone’s day.
While you are in a kind mood, think about donating to a
local charity. This helps the people in need right in your neighborhood. It’s
great to see your money at work with a new park, landscaping or murals. You can
even donate gently used shoes and clothing to homeless shelters. Plus, you can
take the tax break at the end of the year. It’s a win-win situation. So as you
get ready to close out this year and bring in the New Year, remember to think
of others. Make a resolution that will help everyone. I promise you will feel
great about it.
Have a fantastic New Year, 2014 is going to be amazing for
all of us!
