Today, I got 2 bursts of serotonin from the same interaction. I went to the store to exchange 1 thing and buy another. I happened to be in the soda aisle on my way to check out. I hear a short, older woman telling her barely taller companion, "It's all the way in the back up there. I tried to go find someone but -" and I was right there, being my tall self, and said,"Which one did you need?" And she told me so I reached up on the top shelf and grabbed one. She asked for 2 more, so I got them. She was like, "Thank you so much!" And walked away. Serotonin 1 - helping someone and them saying thank you. So I grab my cart again and take a step, and then this other lady, an old Asian woman, catches my attention as she comes from behind me. She says, "That was really, really nice of you. Thank you. You didn't have to do that. That was really nice." Serotonin 2 - being recognized for my good deed. 👍
For my first attempt at getting Ben Solo some social skills, I invited him to join the Scout Troopers and me this weekend. The locals are having some kind of town meeting and I volunteered us all to help out with the electronic stuff. Make sure the microphones and speakers were loud enough and the holostream for those who couldn't attend was working properly. All of that. The locals get free AV assistance, and my Troopers get their Good Deed badges.
Ben Solo was like, "Ah! Good deeds! So the purpose of this task is pull oneself closer to understanding the Light side of the Force through acts of servitude!"
Buddy. No. You gotta relax with all that "Force" stuff. It's not that deep. The purpose is to mingle with the locals, learn a little more about their local politics, and hope we do such a good job that Mrs. Lister will make us some of her famous ettel nut donuts.
If contentment were here, heaven were not heaven.

Aspiration leads to achievement. Aspiration brings more expectations. A life without hope is like a blurry image without knowing what is meant by it. Confirm your desire to achieve the best. Thought values a lot; most of the things happen as per decided. But the decision should be right and a perfect concept. Trying with a positive mind to move for the achievement of success. Surely it will…
