Have You Done Any Good In The World Today?

 So earlier I found this song called, Have I Done Any Good? At first I thought it was just, well, a feel good poem, but then I looked it up on lds.org and then found out it was a song. If you would like to hear the song itself then you can visit,

Have I done any good in the world today?
Have I helped anyone in need?
Have I cheered up the sad and made someone feel glad?
If not, I have failed indeed.
Has anyone's burden been lighter today
Because I was willing to share?
Have the sick and the weary been helped on their way?
When they needed my help was I there?

  There are chances for work all around just now,
Opportunities right in our way.
Do not let them pass by, saying, "Sometime I'll try,"
But go and do something today.
'Tis noble of man to work and to give;
Love's labor has merit alone.
Only he who does something helps others to live.
To God each good work will be known.

(Chorus)

Then wake up and do something more
Than dream of your mansion above.
Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure,
A blessing of duty and love.



Instead of just reading this I decided to apply it. So, it was my personal goal to step out of my comfort zone and sit next to, or say high to people who might have looked like they needed a friend. The great thing was while I was walking down the hall at school I had many people saying high to me in the hall and it just made my day.
