Assisting Others
Monday, August 29, 2011 Successful people listen to their internal feelings and urges. Those, who consistently follow up on opportunities to help others, succeed. In such deliberate giving, one mysteriously advances toward their own goals. Helping others doesn’t put our goal on hold but assists us in reaching ours. One way is to listen to and get interested in their dream or project.
When we see others stumbling or discouraged it only takes a touch or a kind word to encourage them. Mark Twain (Mr. S. L. Clemens) stated he could live several weeks on one sincere compliment.
Enthusiastic go-getters initiate conversations. No matter what personality we now possess, this ability can be acquired. Intentionally be the first to greet superiors, subordinates, and strangers. Search for non-threatening opening statements or questions to start conversations. Speaking first to others will become as natural as breathing.
On our way to success, we accumulate many friends. We can help others by extending the expertise of our knowledgeable friends. These associates will advance to their dream.
Wise King Solomon declared that each friend we help will be multiplied back to us like throwing bread in the ocean so blessing after blessing will wash back upon us on wave after wave. In others words, the help we give away will come back to us in multiple measure.
