Helping Others Up...

Give and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full – pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. – Jesus (the Christ)

 It is a normal thing for many-a-folk to expect people to do things for them. We wait for people to make things happen for us. We rarely consider that we can be the persons that should make things happen for others.

Can people run to you when they are stuck in their goal pursuit? It is important we note that we will achieve our goals much faster if we help others achieve their goals. It sounds funny but true. The norm is that we should focus on our goals while others focus on theirs for when will we have enough time to achieve our goals if we are busy with the goals of others?

On the contrary we should make out time to help others achieve their goals. Your support may not be the ultimate load that breaks the camels back but it very well will take it a little closer to fulfillment. This is so because we are all intricately interconnected and to break this connection is to see all our goals fail.

You can help other people’s goals by giving your time. A lot of people just need you to listen and it will go a very long way in ensuring they succeed. The time you invest in their dreams can give them that confidence that their goals are worth the effort and hence make them achieve them.

In addition, you can help by putting in your finances. This is a grey area and many cringe away from it. The reality is that a lot of goals will be achieved if the finances are available for them. Unfortunately the “dreamer” may not have the money. The good part is that the dreamer does not have to be the financier. You can help bring a dream to reality by helping (if you can afford to) with your finances.

You can help another get what they want by contributing your knowledge, skill, and other abilities. Nobody knows it all – more importantly, nobody can do it all! If you find a person you can help ensure you do it. Help out, do your part. Don’t place your mind on the “glory” going to someone else. Remember that your goals will be achieved as you help enough others achieve theirs.
