That one extra degree...

I subscribe to an online newsletter Walk the Talk. Here is an excerpt from today's e-mail:
(212 is the one extra degree that causes water to boil and make steam. That one degree gives everyday water the power to move a train, just one more degree makes the difference.)

212° Indulge Your Good Side

You see the opportunity. You are aware.
But you’re busy.

“I need to be somewhere, doing something, otherwise I’d help.”

“Someone else will do it.”

“Someone else will pick it up.”

“Someone else will handle it.”

“It’s not my responsibility.”

212 approach
A person struggles. You help. A door needs to be open. You open it. A piece of trash is in your path. You pick it up and throw it away. A child needs some extra attention. You give it to them. A job needs to be completed. You do it.

Allowing one less opportunity of service or kindness fall to the wayside due to laziness each week will add 52 acts of inspiration to your year. Push it to two a week and you add more than 100. Imagine the possibilities.
