Morning question, What good shall I do this day?

Evening question, What good have I done today?

Everyday I ask, Who have I served? Who could I help? What do they need? What more can I do?

I’ve felt a certain amount of social accountability my whole life. And honestly, it can be overwhelming at times. It’s only in the last year that I’ve allowed myself to “do good” and serve other people more effectively by simplifying my own life and making simple deliberate choices each day.

Now with #vampiremode and a relationship where we are both lucky enough to make our own schedules, I am certainly not operating by the same hours Ben Franklin scheduled in his day planner, but I’ve employed his approach to give myself perspective; I’ve made time each day for diversion, reading, consideration and examination of my work, and lately I’ve been sleeping more, for me. I also dine WELL (ilyms).

Now… What Shall We Do?

What shall we do with the layout of our lives so that we can make the greatest impact on the world?

What do you do to foster the personal focus and energy necessary to ask, “What good shall I do this day?” and “What good have I done today?” And what do you do to ensure that you feel the sense of social responsibility that pushes you to follow through, especially when it’s easier to quit?

Also, Thanks to Ben Franklin for Daylight Savings Time.
