An everyday SGBD

It seems that when I come on here to share my SGBD's I am always a little frustrated with myself on the days that I don't have some amazing moment where I helped change someones life or made an impact on something or someone. So as I sat down at the computer I just said to myself over and over again that there was no point in sharing what little SGBD moments I've had today and as I sat there my paradigm started to move a little. Then I was saying to myself, "well I guess I acted on more than one little prompting, in fact I guess I've had many small SGBD's today." Then it moved a little bit more and I tried to remember every moment that I had today and realized that every SGBD I had had, in some way, helped someone else and me. At this point my paradigm had completely shifted. I went from thinking that the only important SGBD's were the ones that make a huge difference and come maybe once a week, to knowing that every SGBD moment is important because it, in some way, helps someone else or yourself. So if you're ever doubting the importance of one of your SGBD's, just take a minute to think what that moment has done and how its changed someone's life(even if it was a small change). Today I had many SGBD moments. I was watching(mindless) T.V. when my sister came in and asked if she could put a movie in that she needed to watch for school. My first thought was to tell her that I had just started my show and that she would have to wait until it was over. My second thought was that I should get off of the couch and do something productive. I'm glad that I acted on the second thought because I would be watching a stupid show instead of sharing this with you. And if I had not acted on that SGBD I might not have had my paradigm shift that was very important for me to have(see how important the little moments can be). The rest of the SGBD moments I had consisted of seeing something in a place it wasn't meant to be and picking it up even thought it wasn't mine, which seems to have happened a lot.
