Good Things are super important.
I am all for GRATITUDE.
I am a BIG fan of being grateful and appreciating what we have, truly I am.
But. I think it’s really good if we be grateful AND do Good Things.
Don’t just be thankful for what you’ve got. Get involved. Make things GROW. Jump up and make some Good Things happen.
Don’t be the complacent kind of Grateful Person. Be the Shake Things UP kind of Grateful Person!
Don’t meditate on all that you have, all of the time.
Think of little ways to make a big difference. As much as you have, as lucky as you are, it’s also up to you to make things even better!
Be more than grateful.
Shake it UP (in a mildly beatific, thankful way, of course!) Make stuff happen. Don’t just sit back and admire your life’s bounty. Stockpile some extra goodness, by doing some extra good stuff.
Don’t be passive-grateful. Be passionate-grateful. Champion the feisty kind of gratitude! Feisty-Thankful is what it’s all about!

Join A Year Of Good Things :: Be A Daily Do-Gooder

This is a great post, Pip! For a while I've wondered at the way "do-gooder" is often used in a derogatory way, and how the word "aspirational" seems to be used in politics to describe people who want more money / bigger houses… when in my eyes aspirational do-gooders are what the world needs. I haven't signed up for daily do-gooding, but you are inspiring me never-the-less!
Hi Pip,
You HAVE to see this video on youtube – if you haven't already.

Excellent point. I made some handmade gifts and posted them to friends as a surprise to brighten their day.
Bang on! I love this 🙂 You've totally encapsulated when I'm making 2012 all about… Appreciate, but also to create… If I want my world to be sparkly, magical and all-round-amaaazing, I'm the person to make it happen! What a wonderful sunny Sunday thought…
Thanks for the pep chat x
