CHALLENGE
The Kindness Daily Challenge
This week we are going to exercise our intuition. Did you know get a lot of promptings every day to do good? But sometimes we don’t hear it, or we don’t feel like it or it’s too uncomfortable, or it’s too weird or… or… or…
But when we act on those promptings, it’s amazing what happens in our lives! We suddenly get connected to other people, to the spirit, to God. And we are led to being instruments in God’s hands and we can see him guiding us.
Rules of the Challenge
Do one act of kindness a day.
(1) It should be something you DON’T NORMALLY do.
(2) Consciously choose to recognize a good thought, notice what your brain does to stop you, and then do it.
(3) The act of kindness can be given to ANYONE.
(4) The act of kindness can be SIMPLE, and probably should usually be simple.
(5) Copying is ok. If you saw someone do something good, and then you think you should do, do it.
(6) You can do pre-planned service OR service that occurs spur of the moment.
(7) The kind act can be ANONYMOUS, OR NOT.
(8) Pray to recognize the good thoughts and you can pray to know who / how to help.
Please TRACK THIS on the checkoff sheet and come prepared to share your experiences!
(Sidenote: I almost didn’t act on this prompting to do this challenge this week because I wanted to tell you about it in class, but then I remembered that I had a pretty clear thought to do this challenge this week – and God’s thoughts and ways are not MY thoughts and ways!)
PROJECT
You decided your Hard Mini-Project – now it’s time to get started on it! Let’s say everyone needs to have a personal project – and you can do a group project too if you would like to.
Rules of the project:
*It needs to be hard for YOU, push yourself!
*Define what your end goal is
*Aim to complete it by Nov 16 (you’ll report on it)
*You have to be interested in it
*You have to want it (maybe not feel like it, but want it)
By next week, please have your project decided, an action plan written of what you think you’ll need to do, and GET STARTED. WRITE IT DOWN!! If you get started, you’ll have time to know if you need to adjust the project. If you wait until Wednesday night, that is the project you will be committed to and you can’t change it after Oct 5.
Here is the project form.
