Better

Scouts have several codes they live by, but one that really catches my attention is to always leave a place you’ve been utilizing or visiting better than you found it. It is an honorable code for sure – to make space you inhabit ‘better.’

Now, what if all scouts and non-scouts took this concept a step further and brought this code into their personal space. I mean, my gosh, what would the world look like if we always left a situation, space, person, etc. better than we found them.

One possible outcome would be that all the fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, sadness, and all sorts of -isms would be on one fierce decline. It’s mind blowing to think about. But let’s start smaller. Think about your day today. Where might you have an opportunity to live into the ‘better’ code? In what way might you make the day better than you found it?
