Homeless people? Young people needing a mentor? Orphans around the world? Women caught in sex trade—and their children? Grieving people? People caught in a care-giver role sapping all their time and energy?
Maybe there are other situations or events?
Maybe nothing?
Sit with this question in the early hours of the day.
If something or someone breaks your heart, a New Year’s Resolution for action lies right in front of you. Find out how to help. Do something.
If nothing breaks your heart, then much more introspection is necessary? Why? Have you no feelings toward others? Perhaps you are trapped in a cycle. Helping others is a great cure for many ills and pains you may have. Find something close and start doing. If you can’t get out, write letters. Handwritten notes are priceless to recipients.
