If you're feeling like the world is falling apart around you and that there's nothing that you can do to make things better...

Volunteer.

Find a food bank, a shelter, a hospice, a senior center. Find some place where you can lend your time towards the service of others.

Volunteering is a great way to do something worthwhile for your community. It takes us out of our own troubles, and focuses that energy on helping others.

So go volunteer. Help yourself by helping others.

@Mrfunkedude I was a volunteer driver for meals on wheels for 15 years and I was hooked on the gratitude. People would say to me how nice I was but I assure you it was very selfish. Some people think it’s sad to see the people but it was very beautiful really. And they don’t want to just talk to you, they truly want the nutrition and are so grateful.
