The 'Doing' is the easy part
The difficult part is the 'intention' - to aim your desire to fill another's lack with the right intention: to benefit the other.
The easy part is the 'doing'- G_d does the rest of the action through you.

Do Something!
I dislike procrastinators for this very reason
Do and give with no alterior motive. Practice random acts of kindness. Love your articles Tzvi Freeman. Keep them coming. How simple the two words are and yet so powerful!

only in golus? does the advice to "do something" apply only in exile, or shall we continue to make tikkun even in geulah? or to act even during moshiach, time to come? did these words apply only after gan eden, or in it? are they synonomous with l'chaim? Reply

Do Something
Many time doing something it make it worse.
Many times it is better just to accept it and let it go.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory.
An Inspiration I WANT MOSHIACH NOW.
I feel sometimes that he spoke esoterically. He has won me in so many WAYS, Mostly that he LIKE the Baal Shem Tov pulled Shechinah down to us. I hope to tell you what my Lubavitcher friend says he has some really good words about Rebe.

Do something
If you do something, it must come from the hart.
Not with the attention to get something back. Do it with the love of G-d for the person who needs it.

Do Something!
Short and to the point!
And if nothing else, "Doing Something", certainly chases the blues away!

Do some thing! Simply said: Do what ever you can. One is never faulted for doing less. It is the intent of doing, that is important. Reply
