Question #13 is this:
What moves you to tears or what gives you goosebumps (or chill
bumps, or whatever you call it when you get chills and your skin on your arms gets all bumpy.)?
What really gets through to your soul?
Is it patriotic music or events and you feel proud of your nation? Maybe helping veterans after they come home is an important cause for you to be involved in locally.
Perhaps its seeing a miracle of sorts, when someone without sight or hearing gets to see or see colors or hear for the first time. If those Facebook videos make you cry, maybe helping others achieve new heights is for you - or working with people with disabilities?

Do you find yourself drawn to tears over the situation of abused animals? neglected or hungry children? a woman trying to communicate as she realizes her husband is slipping into a deeper stage of Alzheimer's? I witnessed this first hand in the doctor's waiting room a few weeks ago. The poor woman was in tears every time her husband spoke and she realized how confused he was over simple things - he didn't know what her purse was - where he was - or why. She broke down repeatedly during just my few minutes before being called into the back.
Maybe it's seeing widows trying to deal with the death of their spouse? Have you ever been around someone as soon as that happens? After the funeral is over, after the friends and relatives have gone back to their lives, after the flowers have faded, and she realizes it's just her from now on...that's heartbreaking.
Whatever it is, find something worth putting in your time, worth fighting for, something that can change someone's world for the better, even if it's only by an anonymous donation or a few hours volunteered in the right place.
Don't just take up space in this world. Make it better.
