Once again, I am being "content," but I have been "happy" all day reading a good book and signing up to do great things for others.
What is truly admiring though, is not the fact that I am trying to do great things- but knowing others who are achieving great things!
Today was my friend's 19th birthday, instead of her being like most college students and "partying," she donated her O+ blood. What is even more amazing is that she has been doing charitable activities for every birthday since she was 16!
The motivation, she told me, was her close friend who recently died of Lung Cancer. Her friend lived a healthy life, and never smoked. Her friend done charity work, donated blood, and did volunteer work in Kenya- all on her birthday!
Instead of saying "That's cool." I say "they inspire me!"
I desire to do self-less activities on my birthday as well! For, the greatest thing a person can do is do great things for others!
On a plus note, I donated blood with my friend.
But, honestly, Life really is a like a coin. I advise you to Spend your coin wisely.
