Story

"If you see a friendly stranger in the Starbucks line and don't say hi you lost a chance to be a part of their story. You lost a chance to live just a bit better for a day.

If you decide to sleep in and miss the most beautiful sunrise of the year, you had a near life experience.

If you have great service and you don't leave a spectacular tip, you had a near life experience.

If you decide to wake up and get to the office early instead of sleeping in with someone warm who smells nice, you have a near life experience.

If your kid asks for a third or fourth story and instead you turn out the lights, you had a near life experience.

If you see the most beautiful woman in the world and don't tell her that's what she is, you had a near-life experience. Do it. Trust me on that one... the stories are pretty good. It might even lead to kids that ask for a lot of bedtime stories.

I say let your heart decide." - Aaron Davis, MRF Courage Recipient 2017
