Today is September 11th. As I was reflecting on the importance of this day and the sacrifice made by individuals 22 years ago, I was thinking of the application of the equivalent act of running into a burning building for the good of others in our own lives. This is not to make the sacrifice of brave souls 22 years ago trite. But as reflection we can all learn and grow by considering what areas of our lives need us to have some determined courage. It makes a difference. Maybe it’s a conversation you need to have, or an action you need to complete, but focusing on the pain and struggle that can come from the required task is surely not going to help you do. It needs to be done.

Other people might be counting on us, or maybe it’s just simply something that will help us if we take care of it. But I’m sure there are circumstances in our lives that we can handle in such a way that will be a blessing to others. Let’s drive to do good for the world, even if it means sacrifice.
