If you are currently in a place where you are not
happy, focus on what words you allow out of your
mouth, take time not to be selfish, but to instead,
show support to someone outside of yourself. The
power behind this is so life changing and poignant
that you will never ever be the same again. By being
someone's guide, you undoubtedly become the own
leader of your own life.
There is immense strength within a person who can
take the time to put aside their own problems for
the benefit of another. Life has a way of knocking
you sideways when you least expect it and
sometimes you can't help but want to hide away
and not face the world. This can affect even the
most confident person and can for a time, hinder
their progress. It is then during those hard times
that you are faced with the challenge of helping
another, when you are barely able to keep your own
head above water.
Your true strength of character and sense of self
comes when you are able to push aside your
own issues and to help someone with their own.
Understand that you are not given anything outside
of yourself that you can't handle.
It has been proven time and time again that life
may deal you with a certain set of cards, but it is
down to you how your play them. There will be
numerous times in your life where you will want
to hide away or focus on yourself, but you will
be called to assist and propel someone else to
higher heights. The same strength, support and
determination that you give them will ultimately
reveal themselves within your own life, when you
need it the most. Give freely and open your arms to
receive the rewards.
At times, it would be so much easier if we could
give ourselves all of the attention we think we need.
After all, time moves so fast and you hardly ever
get the chance to catch your breath. With the days
duties and responsibilities it is very easy to neglect
yourself and to not give yourself the quality time
that you need.
It is because of this that at times, when those
closest turn to us for a period of consultation and
support that we begin to struggle with our desire
to walk away and not help. However, the act of
being selfless and giving your time and lending an
ear and an arm of support to someone outside of
yourself, will bring you an abundance of joy and
satisfaction.
I have been taught to practise giving freely, whether
it is my money, time, or other worldly possessions.
If I dedicate part of my life to the helping of others,
I will receive blessings beyond my understanding.
We all have that friend that seems to only come
to you when they need advice, or when they need
to offload their troubles. However, they turn to
you because they know that you will be that one
individual who gives their time freely and without
bitterness.
Nothing is more powerful and more rewarding
than the power of giving of thy self. You may not be
rich and you may not have all the time in the world.
But, the act of giving to others what they need it the
most and supporting them in their endeavours will
ensure that you are rewarded in return.
In this world, you truly do get back, what you put
out. There is a divine order, and ying and yang isn't
only the makings of a Japanese fairytale. The life
you are living now is a reflection of the thoughts
that you put out into the world. Your actions,
whether good or bad, come back onto you and
mirror your life and where you are now.
Give Freely and Reap Positive Results
