When you meet somebody in need, put yourself in that person’s shoes.
Can you feel the distress that he is going through?
You should – because somebody helped you in the past.
That’s why if you search deep in your heart, you would feel that you’ve “met” the person before.
It might not be the person’s fault for being in that position. That person could very well be you.
Just as you hope somebody would help you when you’re in need, you should help that person who’s in need.
It may not be possible to help everybody in the world.
At that very moment, you can help that person. You can help one more person.
You can stretch out your hands to lift somebody up and out of the pits of life.
It’s both your way of giving back and paying it forward.
Perhaps, that’s why you have what you have today. They are gifts to you so that you can share them with others.
These gifts were given to you to help you and your loved ones to live life.
At the same time, you can use them to bless others and by doing that, you can live a happier and more fulfilled life.
You are wired to do well with your life in order to make something good out it.
When you do good and do it well, the positive feeling that you will enjoy is something that you cannot buy with any amount of money in the world.
Some of the greatest wealth-creation gurus believe that giving back is a basic criteria for achieving success.
If you don’t give, you will not leave room for greater blessings to flow into your life.
All great religions teach you that you need to do good to others.
It’s a way of life and a universally-accepted principle if you want to enjoy meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.
Our Creator designed you to love and care for others. It’s a natural trait and you know and can feel it in your heart.
Giving back is a vital part of your spirit. It’s an integral part of your being.
When you deny it, you deny your God-given potential and talent. You gut the soul out from within you.
That’s why I have always said that the worst disease is not to have a heart for people and the environment.
In this regard, we may need to have a good “heart transplant” every now and then.
We may need to renew and strengthen our heart to give back and do good.
There are many lives and things around us that are falling apart.
If we don’t do our part to fix them, they may come back to haunt and affect us.
All of us can do our part to make our world a better home.
Every person matters.
Every part counts.
Call me an idealist if you like, I believe if you and I live with love, our future generation will point to us and say,
“That’s the generation that finally got their act of love together.
“They eradicated poverty, brought about world peace, and made our world a better home for all of us.”
Will you be one of the Enlightened Humans?
Will you join me in the Revolution of Love?
Go4It!
I hope this message will find a place in your heart.
