I've heard a very good message over and over again this week, its this video. Everyone who wants an inspirational message should listen to the video. In the video it talks about life lessons and meandering thoughts. The message talks about doing one thing every day that scares you. Think about that for a minute...Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But if you could do that one thing every day, what would it be? How would it change your day? How would it change another persons day?
I thought about this early on in the week...I've been hearing for the past month that our daughters school has a Paper Drive. If you are not familiar with this, parents bring in newspapers, magazines, phone books, and office paper to the Paper Drive and at the end of the paper drive the school gets money for the amount of paper they turn in. If your school doesn't have a Paper Drive program, it's a great idea. Research it, talk to someone, and act on it!
Okay so I'm going to do one thing a day that scares me...Wow, that could be a lot of things, but finding something that scares me in a positive way to change the world. First thought, okay keep collecting papers and take it to the school drive. Nope nope that just wont do...Why wont it do? Because yes if every parent brings in newspapers that's a lot of newspapers right? But what if you could double that and how would you do that?
Our office has a huge recycling bin full of office papers, the box is taller than I am and certainly 3 times the size of an average person. If there's 20 people in the office and each person recycles their paper once a month that's nearly about 200 people recycling their paper. Asking around the office proved to be a great way to give back to the school and recycle at the same time. If more people did this for one paper drive could you imagine the impact it would make? So think about it...What is one positive impact change to make that would scare you to step outside your box.

So excited that helping out in this project for the schools donated a ton of paper from asking a few people at work if it was okay for kids to pick up our paper rather that the trash company!
