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.
