For YOURSELF:

1. Smile more often! Be amazed of how many will be happy to smile back at you. Besides, this is the best facial exercise you can make to delay aging signs -- so smile!2. Eat right! Boost your immune system by eating more natural food, like fresh fruits and vegetables. This alone can significantly reduce your weight and health concerns.3. Exercise regularly. The reason is not just to lose weight, but it's a great habit to maintain good health by improved circulation, elimination of body toxins, etc.4. Drink water more than 'colored drinks' for your health. Water has no sugar or additives.5. Read and learn more. Devote time and money for self-improvement, the best investment you can make that truly pays off.6. Love, care, give, and share more. This practice is the very purpose of your life.7. Keep believing. Pray. Nurture your spirit. This won't cost you any, but

help or answer to your needs can be just a prayer away.

For those YOU CARE ABOUT:8. If you love them, then say it and show it! Do not take them for granted. They need both to hear and see you care.9. Spend more quality time with them. It is what they'll remember most.10. Visit, write, call those you haven't for a while.

For our SENIORS:

11. Give a helping hand and cheers -- cooking, cleaning, or whatever they are limited to.12. Give a ride or offer to carpool with them whenever there's a need.13. Involve them on activities that will continue to stimulate their senses, or they can contribute their gathered wisdom.

For our CHILDREN or YOUTH:14. Walk or create programs for youth to benefit them and rally for their good future.15. Give them more opportunities to explore and develop their natural gifts and talents, express their dreams and goals.16. Encourage our children more by your words and example. Stay positive! .

For our VETERANS: (For the freedom we now enjoy is due to their sacrifices.)17. Send cards or anything to show you remember and appreciate them.18. Recognize them and give a smile, a salute, or high-five when you see them around.19. Support their events and fundraising efforts to help them.

For our HOMELESS Citizens: (Just like you and me, they need care and understanding. )20. Encourage them by taking time to help them get the help they need/resources to get back on track.21. Volunteer in your local shelters. There are many ways you can help or contribute.22. Help create more programs to help them get out of their situation.

For our VOLUNTEERS: (For helping us make things happen.)

23. Big "thank you!" note or anything to show your appreciation of them.24. Join them and be prepared to do a random act of kindness anytime.25. How about "volunteers appreciation day" to celebrate them and have a good break?

For our ENVIRONMENT: (We only have one planet, so we must take care of it.)26. Clean and plant trees with your workmates, neighbors, etc. Anywhere permissible.27. Recycle consciously, not just plastics and papers, but clothes and others you can share. Clean up your closet, garage, or storage for everything that you don't need. Do a yard sale or simply drive to or call local charities for pickup. This is one recycling to meet needs of others.28. Learn more of what's causing the global warming and contribute to preventions/ solutions.For ALL of US:29. Sing, dance, be happy no matter what. Brighter days are yet to come!30. Speak the truth. Seeking the truth can set someone free.31. Notice and say something good or positive to someone, and mean

it.32. Learn survival techniques. Always be prepared for any emergency.33. Accept yourself. You are gifted and blessed more than you know.34. Be forgiving and understanding as you seek forgiveness and understanding.35. Learn how to budget or how to manage your money. Spend only on needs and the money that you actually have.36. Be involved in your community in making good things happen!37. Will you support me on my personal goal to make a difference (i.e., to reach at least three million people everywhere to bring HOPE and more OPPORTUNITIES for people to live better lives)?

beings will be always ready to help others. They never expect recognition from any one. They are very important to the society. Such great people are ordinary men in the beginning. They have not come down from the heaven all of a sudden. The deep desire to acquire a saintly behaviour, to spiritually reach a higher level and the willingness to accept such transformation are the forces that have influenced them to the core. When they offer themselves as boulders to the will of God, the Cosmic Sculptor carves out a marvellous statue. Once they surrender themselves to the Will of God and dedicate their lives to God, they will be transformed into angels of mercy and divine instruments of selfless service. Baba took Bhagojee, who was suffering from leprosy, into His lap and enlisted Him as his trusted servant in His durbar. It is our primary duty to help those suffering from ill health. With love and sympathy we must nurse and care the bed-ridden patients.

Baba likes such service of love. Some people lack the motto of service. How many are there who are willing to selflessly serve with love? The more we prepare ourselves for selfless service, the more we become dearer and go nearer to Baba."Shri SaiSatCharita ---> Leads you in Sai's unique Path"Shree SatChidananda Sadguru Sainadh Maharaj Ki Jai --Posted By Deepa H to Sai Picture gallery
