Building Compassion: A journey for a lifetime.

Today my goal is to build compassion in some way.  Our world has become too divided, we are too busy worrying about ourselves to stop and help another person.  I challenge myself and all of the small, but growing community, to choose to listen to a fellow human.  Include a fellow in your life some way, and reach out to anyone that may be in need of help on that day.

Every day try to live your life in a way that brings joy to others.  Go out of your way just one time a day to lift another up.  This could be as easy as holding a door for a busy person with their hands full, or as complicated as volunteering in a soup kitchen or some other community outreach system.  I would guess that the bulk of us don't even take the time to look up from our daily lives to reach out to somebody in need.

Fitness Action Plan:

I bought a fitness tracking watch that counts my steps over the holiday.  After rereading the novel "Ready Player One" I wanted to take the lockout program from the novel, the one where Wade has to workout before he can unlock the Oasis, and apply it to my life.  I created a program where every 100 steps equals one minute of game time.  Also every minute of exercise equals one minute of game time.  This will keep me honest and through the use of "Alexa," Amazon's smart home device as a time I have to earn my play tie.  So far it has worked only in theory as I only implemented it yesterday and spent the day working on the computer and playing games.  I will make the best of it and see how far I can go down this fitness journey.
