TO DO
"Well why don't you DO it then? What do you keep SAYING you will for? Why don't you DO IT? It's because you're afraid" Say you'll do this inspire-ment, and then DO IT! :) Research someone who DID things. Try to find someone who only SAID they'd do something, but didn't do it. (good luck)
--opt. draw a picture of them/make a presentation/write something about them.
"Work consists of whatever a body is OBLIGED to do, and that play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do." Be obliged to play and not obliged to work and see what happens.
Memorize 2,000 verses of scripture. … jk :) Just 2-20.
(pg. 92-ish -- 94-ish, the mourners) Act as if it was your last day alive.
"Now auntie, you know I do care for you" said Tom. "I'd know it better if you acted more like it." Show your love to someone.
"He attempted a diary--but nothing happened during three days, and so he abandoned it." Keep a journal for 3 days in a row.
Get engaged. jk :)
"That's the Lord's mark. He don't leave it off. He never does. Puts it somewhere on every creature that comes from His hands." Write down your thoughts about this and any connections. Look for the good in people and creatures.
