I'm doing 40 things
an opportunity not lost

Taking this on as a goal to me will only count as accomplished when I spontaneously do the right thing without being prompted. But I did have this experience of taking a walk in my neighborhood when a woman carrying a gas can came up to me and asked for money to fill up her totally empty car, stranded on the side of the street. I hesitated, but I ended up walking to the gas station with her and gave her some money. I think I did a good thing, but it was entirely self-conscious, and that’s not going far enough for me.
