Doing the Right Thing: Are You in it for Your Own Reasons?

Most people start to develop an innate sense of right and wrong before adolescence.

While it may take some longer than others, people usually continue to develop their conscience and compassion until the frontal lobe of the brain is fully developed at 25 years old.

With the exception of specific psychological disorders, it isn't hard for most people to discern right from wrong.

Where things can become complicated is going from knowing what the right thing in a situation is to acting accordingly and actually doing the right thing.

Doing the right thing generally means making decisions that are not based on your own personal needs, that don't expand your popularity, or enforce your personal beliefs. It means doing what is best for the greater or common good. - Forbes

7 Ways You Can Reinvent Your Life When You're Feeling Stuck

We all feel stuck from time to time in one or more areas of life.

After all, life can feel overwhelming or perhaps boring at times.

Speaking for myself, I’ve felt stuck plenty of times. However, the truth is that no matter how stuck you may feel, there are always ways that you can reinvent your life and get back on track.

This article discusses seven strategies for breathing new life into your routine and getting unstuck…

One Positive Action

Joy Connection

There are certain things we do that bring us back to life. They might not be big or dramatic, but when you're in the middle of them, you feel lighter and more present. These moments are worth paying attention to because they point to what really matters to you.

Think about one activity that consistently makes you feel alive. Maybe it's walking in nature and you notice how peaceful you feel, or it could be laughing with a friend and feeling that deep sense of connection. Whatever it is, there's usually a value underneath that joy. When you can name both the activity and the value it reflects, you get a clearer picture of what brings meaning into your life.

This awareness helps you see patterns in what energizes you. Instead of waiting for joy to show up randomly, you start to recognize what creates it and can make more space for those experiences. You begin to understand why certain activities feel so good and can make choices that honor what truly feeds your spirit.

Take a minute today to write down one activity that always makes you feel alive. Then ask yourself what value it reflects. Maybe gardening connects you to growth, cooking ties to creativity, or helping others reflects your value of service. Keep this insight somewhere you'll see it and let it remind you to create more room for that kind of joy in your days.
