What the World Needs
Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

"Do the right thing just because it is the right thing."
People who instinctively, and without ulterior motives, reach out to those in need do not “calculate or make distinctions as to whether God is inside of a certain situation or not, whether a person seems worth it or not, . . . or whether a person appears to be a good person or not, before reaching out in service.”
A true story...
It was a late winter morning. George Parry, the owner of Westlands Bookstore, looked out the front window of his store, located then adjacent to Coffee Traders, and saw a seriously inebriated fellow fall flat on his face into foot-deep slush in the middle of the street. He was nearly invisible to vehicles trying to negotiate the day’s treacherous roads. Excusing himself from the pair of customers he was serving, and just in his plaid shirt sleeves, George dashed outside, helped the dripping-wet fellow up, led him through the store, past the customers, settled him down by a warm wood fire in the back, and served him coffee. Only when this unexpected guest was safe did George return to his customers, without fanfare or any expectation of praise. For George, it was just the right thing to do.
