give more, expect less

watch this

I am going to bed and so I don't want to spend a whole lot of time expressing my own thoughts on this video.  So I give you the Spark Notes version!

Chapter 1

Sure, Justin Bieber does a lot for publicity and for his reputation.  However I believe that his heart is really in this.  It's been my observation that his fans have always meant the world to him, and it appears that his appreciation extends much further than his concert-going, screaming, dream-girl fans.

Chapter 2

The principal, Sherrie Gahn, is adorable.  She is the sweetest most sincere woman.  I can't imagine anyone having a heart bigger than hers.

Chapter 3

I dug a little deeper and found out more about Whitney Elementary.  It's located in Las Vegas, NV.  Their motto, like it said in the video clip, is:

I'm here to learn and to support the learning of others.  

I cooperate with everyone and take responsibility for my actions.   

I respect myself, others, and the environment 

because I am a person of character.

After Ellen's generous contribution they probably don't need many more donations for awhile!  However if you feel so inclined, you can send all donations HERE.  If you want to know any more about the school you can visit their website is HERE.  

{Epilogue}

It's things like this that make me want to be a better person.  Well, I always want to be a better person.  I guess I mean to say that it's examples like Sherrie Gahn and Justin Beiber that push and motivate me to be a better person.  One of my favorite sayings is

Give More

Live Simply

Expect Less

It's such a simple thing, really.  It only takes a little extra effort to hold the door open for someone.  That's all it takes to get the ball rolling!  And after that you keep serving until it becomes a pattern and suddenly helping others becomes an instinct.  We should all strive to serve more, to be selfless, to be charitable, kind, and loving to all people.  If you're doing the best you can, do even better!  

Give More.  Live Simply.  Expect Less.  

LIFE IS GOOD!
