In the “Wild Wild West” we call the “World Wide Web” there’s information to find about everything and anything your mind wonders about. You can read your heart out and still never cover all the articles, blog posts, and digital books that are available online.
Today I was looking up content for the next few months for one of my clients and Googled “how to” and to my surprise the top four hits were actual links that explained what “how to” meant. Is this real life? How can you not know what a “how to” is? All jokes aside, I’m going to skip the comedic relief about it to get to the next two hits: “how to survive a shark attack” and “how to hack into a computer”.
Since I’m not a fan of sharks nor computer hacking, these two Youtube videos will remain unwatched by me.
The topic I was hoping to find was “how to make the world a better place” and if you Google that topic, you’ll find pages of articles that will give you ideas. To save you from doing a Google search of similar findings, I have put together this super short list to give you an idea of things you can do:
1) Volunteer.
2) Donate clothing.
3) Adopt a shelter animal.
4) Join a bone marrow registry.
5) Hug a friend or family member.

I hope you’re able to take this list from another “Wild Wild West” landing page on the “world wide web” and apply it to your actual life. After all, life is about living so go do it and it’s best not to delay.
