Are you Doing the Next Right Thing, and how are you deciding what is “right”?

It isn’t enough to go about our business responding to the moment by doing whatever we want.

There is an apparent divide in humanity between those who think only of their own self-interest and those who consider the interests of everyone, including themselves, when making decisions.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is the truth of the interconnection of all human beings on the planet. This plague paid no heed to national borders.

And still, some humans stand firm in their self-centeredness — even to their own detriment — and do not take responsibility for the way their behavior impacts everyone.

Do the Next Right Thing. Decide what is “right” by generously considering what is best for everyone, including yourself. Take a closer look at the impact of your choices.

As you do unto others, you do unto yourself.
