Leave It Better

I remember when I was a little kid in Girl Scouts and they’d tell us to clean up after an activity in the gym and “leave it better than the way you found it.” I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I think there are so many ways you can apply it to your life. Whether it’s a job or school or national park you’re leaving, leave it better than the way you found it. Leave it better for you family, friends, strangers, and future generations.
