Steve Pavlina has great post on taking action to fix things around you. I don't always do it, but int he past I have found myself breaking up a fight between 2 women, in the middle of a BUSY intersection, after a fender-bender, comforting an elderly women and providing some basic first aid after she was broad-sided, at speed, right in front of me. I have helped people look for their dogs and cats. I have jump started cars for folks.

If you see a problem, why not fix it, in any way you can. Heck, even reporting graffiti or potholes to your local authorities helps out.

Why not you? Why not me? Why not everyone? It makes everyone's life a little bit better.

Why Not You?

Are you one of those people who notices the problems of the world and says one of the following:

• Somebody ought to do something about that.


• Where are the people that are supposed to be handling this?


• Surely with all the tax dollars being spent, somebody is in charge of fixing this.


• Why doesn’t somebody do something about that?

Why not you?

If you feel a strong urge to see a problem fixed, then why not act on it? Surely your whining and complaining isn’t helping, is it? (continued)
