It's NOT Always About You!
It’s Not Always About You
Step on in and have yourself a seat! This week we’ll keep it short and to the point J
For as long as I’ve been writing for Master Motivators, I’ve continuously focused on YOU! Yes, my dear friend who I’m confident one day I’ll meet in person. My dedication and passion is helping you (and me) grow as inspired and motivation people in our everyday lives. To fully – achieve our dreams!
However, this week I’d like to take the focus off you and me and place it on everyone else. Those who don’t have. Those who are scared about tomorrow. Those who have no one else to turn to. Those who’s lives will never be the same.
Who am I talking about? Well, in my experiences, there is no greater gift and experience you can have than making the life of someone you don’t know – just that much better.
Everywhere you go, you’ll find senior centers full of men and women who have been forgotten by their friends and families. Or, the children’s hospitals where innocent boys and girls are scared out of their minds about their future – or lack thereof. The homeless standing on the street corners begging for spare change.
Could you imagine just for a minute – the smiles on these strangers faces when you spend a little bit of your time with them to make life just a bit better? Volunteering to pass out food at the homeless shelter? Make small sandwiches and pass them to the people begging for money? A few stuffed animals to kids in the cancer wards? Some music and dance to the elderly in the homes who sit and play bridge 12 hours a day?
I know I know…YOU ARE BUSY! I get it, but perhaps in order to GET – you need to GIVE J I guarantee (and I don’t guarantee much), if you do this, you WILL find amazing gifts in life you never expected. Perhaps more patience for your healthy kids. More love for your own parents who are scared about dying. More determination for yourself to make EVERY MOMENT COUNT. Can you imagine?
John Lennon imagined and look what happened J
So, this is your assignment America! Get out and do something for someone else and post it back here! Can you PLEASE do that? No matter how small you think it is – share it here J
Until next week, please never take anything for granted and always be extremely grateful for what you have – life is an incredible blessing.
All My Best,
Christopher
Thank you for this. Being a servant of God, I am so lucky that volunteerism comes very easy for me. Don't know why but it does. I think mainly it is because of the feeling I get deep down inside when I do. It isn't like winning the lottery, it isn't like having great health, it isn't about winning - it is about the inner joy and peace that comes when we live our lives as God has dictacted to us that we do. Not sure if you remember or even know the story about the Good Samaritan from the bible - but what a lesson. For you see being a Samaritan and Good are very opposite. But we are promised such abundance on this earth and beyond when we do share of our time, talent and tithes.
Honestly, volunteering completes me. Moreso than anything else I do. I have now taken on supporting the military and their families as my focus. My ministry is growing - my heart is overflowing. My part my seem small - but being there for even one soldier and his family in their time of need makes a huge difference to them.
God Bless you Christopher!
