The Magic of Giving Yourself Away

Every day we can be happier, we can smile more and we can feel lighter.

Life just seems to want to throw things at us that affect that happiness sometimes.
It might be stress from work, friends, or life happenings around us. Or parents.

But there is a secret that lies within Us,
and it’s Magic can be enjoyed every day.

It’s about giving, while taking.

It’s too common that adults are living daily lives in stress and in ruts, missing smiles and joy at the end of a day. That affects the kids in the house too. So what can we do to affect and change that?

Teens face daily change and anxiety from their world surroundings, environment and schools, more then ever. When is there a chance to feel joy, and good light-hearted feelings running through the veins?

So today I pledge you to do one small thing tomorrow,
that crosses your path that helps another person.

It might be letting someone go ahead of you in line at school, at a store. It might be opening a door for someone with full hands or that is elderly, it might be picking up a bag of trash on the side of the road or helping someone cross the road. It might even be writing a note of thanks or praise of a good job done to a teacher, or a friend for something small they have done for you and they didn’t even realize. It might be giving your last piece of gum away, or mailing a hand written letter to someone that deserves to hear how good of a thing they are doing.


You will feel the magic right away.
You will feel the joy and remember that happiness is alive and within our reach anytime, anywhere, and we can live life feeling brighter.


Let the Magic flow, and make a person shine bright!

Who knows, it might just begin to let people feel right! Joy!
