Day 70 of 365 new ways to a new you. Congratulations, you have made it this far. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you ready for tomorrow? This is part of a series that is going to span 365 days. Some things will be subtle other activities will be more involved. At the end of the 365 days even if you do only 20 of these things you will be a new person, for better or for worse.

Before I begin with day seventy, I must defer you to our Terms and Conditions .

“The value of compassion cannot be over-emphasized. Anyone can criticize. It takes a true believer to be compassionate. No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands.” ~Arthur H. Stainback

Day 70: Perform an act of compassion Go out of your way to help someone who is need. The need can be as simple as finding a lost item or as benevolent as buying someone a meal. One of the most compassionate things some one can do is to spend time with someone. If you have ever been to an elderly home and spent some time with the folks there who have no next of kin, you will understand what I mean. Loneliness is perhaps the most natural and cruel isolation a human can ever experience. An true act of compassion will alleviate that burden and lift up both your hearts.
