Life is such a valuable gift. Each day, you have the opportunity to improve upon your health and lifestyle and work toward achieving your personal goals. As you make strides to be at your best, you also have the opportunity to consider the needs of those around you and to serve someone in need of your help.

Doing things for others can greatly enhance your life. There is great joy found in helping others, especially when it’s unprompted or undeserved. You don’t need an invitation to do something; you can help with whatever resources you have at any time.

If you’re unsure about what you can do, begin in your own community or in your own home. Is there something or someone that could benefit from your time, attention, talents or abilities? Every little bit helps. You don’t need unlimited wealth to serve others. Small acts of kindness also have the ability to dramatically change someone’s life for the better.
