We live in a big wide world

8 Billion people  spread over 195 countries

Over 4,000 different religions

Politics has become so polarized

Social media creates division

Minorities feel oppressed 

News bombards us with conflicts and wars

Is it worth even trying to change things

Is there any hope of one person making a real difference

Of course there is!

So I am throwing out a Cheeky Monkey challenge for you all today

Spend your entire day focused on being courteous 

Hold open that door for the person following you

Give up your seat on the metro or bus for somebody else

Smile and say hello to a stranger

Stop your car to let another driver cut in

Accept people for who they are

Reach out to somebody who needs help

Encourage other people to succeed

Show compassion for those with struggles

Speak kind words in a friendly tone

Show real happiness for somebody’s success

Apologize when you made a mistake

Forgive others if they make a mistake

Smile more throughout your day

Dedicate time to bond with family and friends

Offer handshakes and hugs

Be sincere in words and deeds

Offer to help somebody with their todo list

Reflect at the end of the day on how well you did

Repeat daily

Make us all cheeky Monkey Proud of each other!
