Monday's mission: become better than you are

I hear a lot of talk about the condition of our country, culture, & society. Much of it is full of negativity aka "doom & gloom".
The nation is simply a reflection of the people in it. Though it is convenient to blame the government, much of what needs to be fixed is within the individual.
If you don't agree with the government's spending, how is your own spending in comparison?
You can look at many negative factors and do a similar comparison:
health, morals, relationships, family, etc.
The point is, it's up to all of us.
Politicians cannot fix all this stuff, it is up to the individuals to become an example of what you want our nation to be.
So today, what will you do to improve the person you are?
Think about it, there are small things that can add up to make a big difference in your life and the lives of those around you.
How about very simple things, like eating healthier today or handling stress better, exercising regularly, and spending more time with those you love?
That's mission for today.
