Day 25 - Short Showers

As for a technique to save water, Reduce your time of showering to 5 minutes or less. By this you would be saving water and you can learn to use efficiently.

A story that I read a few days back. An old man is giving a bath to his 2 year old grandson with bore water,and says to his grandson " At my times, I used to bathe in a big river and at your dad's time there was a small lake and now you only have water from the grounds, there might be a time when your children have to bathe with a cup of water"...

Karma Points - 150 per "Short Shower"

Tell me what you feel about the "Short Shower" Technique and How much Karma Points you earned today... :)... also through Facebook @

Have a Nice Day!... :)

Day 24 - Save!

Save!... Don't Waste!... Let it be water, food, power or anything of that sort, that you have but don't need while others need it but doesn't have!... There are people everyday dying of starvation and that's the most pathetic death, while, we waste the left overs. Today, do realize that there are children studying with the help of street lights and candles while you waste the power and there are people who travel for miles to get water while you are taking a long shower. They are part of the world you live in... and we must care!

Karma points- 200 - Saving/ not wasting food
                       150 - Saving/ not wasting water
                       100 - Saving/ not wasting Power

Though there are more techniques to save, that I'll mention in the upcoming missions... Do, take some time in thinking of ways to save.

Write to me on how you saved food, water and power and tell me how much Karma Points you have earned today! also in Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Do-Good-Feel-Good/304619499562060?ref=tn_tnmn... Have a nice day!.. :)
      

Day 23 - Make a child smile

Why children?, because they are the most innocent beings in the world, where they act just the way they are treated. They give you lots of love for the simplest of things and these impressions of compassion makes them a better person, not letting them to be otherwise. Today, take some time and make a child smile, by reading them a book, giving them some chocolate or simply asking them about them, take them for a ride. You could also donate a book for the kids library. I am sure that you would feel awesome after that, may be like a super man. Do remember that your deed has just seeded compassion to the future generation.

Karma Points- 50 Karma points for a smile per child.

Tell me about what you did to make a child smile and share about the experience in the comment box of this post... also in Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Do-Good-Feel-Good/304619499562060?ref=tn_tnmn .Have a nice day... :)

Day 22 - Don't wait!

Don't wait before helping and don't wait after... Once you have decided to help, do it immediately, its only then the value of the deed gets better and after any help don't wait for the return, move on with your life. Make sure you don't regret any help that you have done. Even if it gets you into loss, you have learned something and your help would have been registered in the "Karma Bank". There is always an equal consideration waiting for you for every help, the more selfless and unconditional you are, the better people would respect you and protect you. Remember that there is nothing to loose as nothing is as such "yours". Its just a current and if you loose one you always get another, something much better.

Tell me about your experience on helping someone without expecting any return and how you felt about it... also in Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Do-Good-Feel-Good/304619499562060?ref=tn_tnmn .Have a nice day... :)

Day 21 - Rolemodel

We all have a role model in our lives, whom we follow and whom we respect for what they have , a talent, a fortune or may be the looks. Its these role models who are living examples who inspire us to achieve. You don't have to be a full time philanthropist, but you can always be a supporter, a follower or a volunteer... doing a bit that you can. Today, take some time to research on people who are famous for their Philanthropy interest or a leader who preaches compassion and know more about them. Choose your role model. When you feel like giving up, the quotes and the life of these role models will give you the strength. They would definitely give you a way to make things better.

So, Tell me about your Rolemodel and why you have chosen them over the others...also in Facebook @https://www.facebook.com/pages/Do-Good-Feel-Good/304619499562060?ref=tn_tnmn Have a nice day...:)

Day 20 - Behave!

Behave the way you would like others to behave with you. All of us like to be handled politely, none of us like to be controlled. Most of us don't like rude people, rude comments or being mocked at. But, we find it alright when the other person is being treated bad!. The only way to stand up against this is to show them, inspire them. Talk to your maid, waiter, chauffeur thinking from their angle, putting yourself in their shoes. " If I were him, will I love/ respect / look up to this person (you), if he talks/ behaves this way?"...I am sure that compassion will grow in you ... This is something only humans can do... which is to empathize... Go on, show that your different from any animal... 

Please Share your views on this in Facebook @https://www.facebook.com/pages/Do-Good-Feel-Good/304619499562060?ref=tn_tnmn

Day 19 - Give back

Give back to get more... Goodness!. Try to recall the people from the "Remember List" ( Refer previous posts ) and try to give them back the goodness and the love. Give it back to them with lots of Gratitude as what they have given has helped you in some way or the other. Give back and I am sure that you'll get back lots more. Won't you re-invest if a bank had given you back the amount with lots of interest?. Its not the same case if the bank doesn't return your money, rite?. So, What are you waiting for?. . . Go see the list and think of a way to give them back,... at least the thought counts... and the more you give back, the better you would feel...

Do write to me about what you have given back and to whom, and what they felt about it . Share with us, the whole experience and inspire others to do the same... Have a nice day... :)

Day 18 - Reconnect!

           

               Make a call to an old friend of yours, and have a nice chat with them or Go to their Facebook/orkut/Myspace/Friendster account and drop a message. Bring back your old memory and dive into the nostalgia. Ask them about their lives and tell them how much you missed them. Who wouldn't love to hear from their good old friend. This phone call would make them happy and noticed. I am sure that you would feel good and lively too. So, Go on... Take the phone and give a call to your friend, to whom you haven't spoken for a long time , not for any other reason, but just to reconnect.

Karma Points - 100 per call per person,

Do tell me how many friends you reconnected with today and how much Karma Points you have earned. Have an awesome day... :)

Day 17 - Start with you

A very common phenomena is that only the ones who love them, can love others, only the ones who think well of themselves can praise others, so you need to treat yourself kindly and passionately, it is only then that you can treat others the same. You need not give others what you won't give to yourself, let it be good or bad. Don't ever disregard your feelings to others, but do respect theirs. Make yourself important to you and tag yourself to be Good and Compassionate. You must make your believe that you are a Compassionate person, it is only then you can do it.

Make sure you greet yourself in the morning, tell yourself to have a good appetite and always make yourself feel special by saying " I am awesome!"... :) . So, Have a nice day ... :)

Day 16 - Take Initiative

Your initiative to do good would make a difference. Accept that you might not get good in return. Most of the people who don't take initiative often, always expect something in return.When they don't get anything in return, they get disappointed and stop taking initiative. Some of them do good only if the other person has already done something for them. So, you need to accept the fact that "good" would come to you, but not from the same source. When you take the initiative, you become the "Influencing" and not the "Influenced", You become "Proactive" and not "Reactive". You take control of your own life. May be, Being Compassionate has more in return than you think, huh?...

Day 15 - Sweepstakes!

Yep!... Today... You don't have a "mission for Goodness" in particular. Instead, Your mission is to get as much Karma Points as possible today from the previous missions (refer previous posts). Try to make this day as energetic as possible and start with the mission with all that you have got. Since, you have completed two weeks of pursuing simple acts of compassion, today I thought its time to make it a bit more of fun. All the very best.

Today for Sweepstakes, you have Karma Points slabs, where you get additional Karma Points for the number of Karma points you get...

For 100 Karma points and less - you get (your Karma points) + 100

For 200 to 500 Karma points - you get (your Karma points) + 200

For 500 to 1000 Karma points  - you get (your Karma points) + 500

For 1000 Karma points and more - you get (your Karma points) + 1000

So, What are you waiting for?.... Go grab as much as you can and become extra compassionate today... :)

Write to me about how much Karma Point you have earned today... All the best... :)

Day 14 - Look

Look for goodness in people. Not just the ones you know, but also the ones you have just met. How nice would it be if all the people you meet only see your plus, and not any minus in you. All of us have our goods and vices. Its always healthier to see the good side. You can only help someone when you know that the person is good. When you meet someone new, stop judging and look at only the goodness in them and appreciate it. Not long, would you be noticed for this. People would come to you, to find themselves, as every one likes to show their good qualities to others. You are in a way encouraging them to be a better person. Yes, you have Karma points for this.

Karma Points - 20 per person.

Do tell me how much Karma Points you earned today. Tell me about your experience on being the better person in your meet-ups.

Have a nice day... Lets Spread the joy of Compassion...




P.S- You have successfully completed two weeks of "Being Good"... Awesome!...

Day 13 - Promote

               I hope you all browsed about goodness yesterday... But, I must say that I was a bit shocked as when I browsed on "goodness", "compassion" and other things related, they were relatively less to any other topic. It seems to be simply under-rated. So today, you can promote it in a small way. Write about Compassion and kindness on your blog, facebook wall, G+, Twitter or simply share or retweet something on kindness. Let the awareness on Kindness and Compassion spread to the masses. You can also tell people about this blog and follow it. I am sure that you'll become a better person every day with these small baby steps. If you have a blog on compassion, write to me. I would love to follow and be an active reader. You also get Karma Points for this...

Karma Points - 25 per post.

Tell me about how much Karma points you earned today and write to me about what you wrote or shared. Also, tell me about how others felt about your post.

A Blog that I found on Compassion

Have a nice day... :)

Day 12 - Browse

Browse today for Good things in life, about good things happening around the world... Most of the news channels and hot topics today are based on the cruel things and bad attitude and its consequences, we keep a distance with all the people as a caution, of course, caution is necessary, but it is also necessary to see the goodness in the world. Only when you see good, hear good and talk good, you would be good naturally. Isn't that how everything goes?... You are what you think, see, listen and talk... Let do good, by being fully immersed in goodness.



Have a nice day... :)
