I'm motivated/inspired by my actions towards others
When you do something nice for someone you're really not supposed to talk about it. But I did something Sunday morning that gave me such a good feeling that I'm going to share with the hopes of soliciting some like minded actions from anyone who may read this.
I was driving downtown early this morning. No traffic, beautiful sky. I saw an elderly homeless woman sitting on a concrete bench with all her worldly belongings & I had an incredible urge/need /desire to do something for her. In my review mirror I see an older guy walking toward her & he sits down; I know I have to do something for him as well. I drove over to McDonald's & got 2 orange juices, 2 coffees & a selection of mcmuffins & breakfast burritos. I drove back to the courthouse where they were, got out of the car & said "Good morning. Would you like some breakfast?" The old woman's face lit up with a big smile and she said "Yes". I put the drink tray & bag on the bench between them, described the contents & said "Have a nice day." They both appeared hesitant, but as I drove away I watched in my rear view mirror as she dug thru the bag.
Hours later I still have such a warm feeling to have been able to do something, however small, for someone in need. If I feel good, I have to imagine they feel even better. I'm now motivated & inspired to do more.
Can I inspire anyone else?
