What Are You Doing to Make Your Life Better?

Just came from a Volunteer appreciation dinner. The church recognizes people giving for all these different activities.  People there planning for the future, teaching religion, funeral services, social justice, choirs, feeding the homeless, leading groups, ushering, greeting people, and in line with my skills - set ups, tear downs, serving coffee and doing dishes. All these people are doing the little things that build a better society.

Your life will not get better until you do something different than you are doing now. Something that stretches you, makes you uncomfortable, meeting new people, or try a new skill that you aren’t really sure you will succeed at.

In college my professors said our knowledge is always changing. So we are not teaching you the facts, we are teaching you how to learn for after you graduate.

Taking a class on navigating office politics tomorrow. Office politics are not my favorite subject. Would rather keep my head down and work. Would rather scrub walls and the floor than deal with politics. However if the right decision needs to be made, would like to have input and contribute where I can. So will take a class to improve skills for the future. 

So the question is, what are you doing to make your life better?
