The Gift of Helping Others

How do you feel when you help other people? What is your idea around helping people? There are many ways we help people on a daily basis and sometimes we do not even know we are helping. There are simple things we can do to help without knowing it-saying thank you to the person who waited on you, telling someone to have a nice day, a smile, opening or holding a door open, picking up something they dropped so they do not have to bend down, giving up a seat for someone else, and so much more.

Then there is knowing and purposely helping someone whether it is friends, family, or in business. All of these can integrate at any given moment. I know when I have the ability to help someone I feel better as a person, a human being, and that I have the capacity to make my small part of the universe a better place to live in. What I have learned is that you can feel good helping people in business that benefits them and you all at once. I do not need to feel guilty for earning a living when the end result is positive. Since entering the world of entrepreneurship I have come to understand that when you help someone you help yourself in many different ways. It is an overwhelming experience, it is humbling, yet empowering all at once.

What I mean by empowering is the knowledge that I can make a difference. This experience is nothing I ever felt in the corporate world.

Today I can be that person that helps and have gratitude that I was blessed with this ability. It is a simple concept yet complex all at once. Has this happened to you in your business? How does this make you feel? For me it keeps me in a forward motion knowing I can continue on this path.

I have been blessed with helping people change their lives for the better, becoming pain free, giving them the ability to gain their lives back. I have given this to myself and this is how I have been able to give it to others. I can be a support system to others and they to me. It is synergistic and healing mentally, physically, and emotionally. Finding peace of mind in health allows everything else to follow. When people feel good they can do so much more in their lives and others see the changes in them. Who would not want to feel good? When I see someone smiling and laughing that has not done so in a long time and knowing I played a small part in helping them achieve this all I can say is yes I am on the right path.

I have met many people in my journey who’s mission is to help others because they truly believe by helping others they help themselves. Some are health coaches, business coaches, marketing coaches, others sell make-up, are holistic practitioners, domestic diva’s, preachers, and so much more. They have helped inspire me and kept me going just by knowing we all have the same purpose. Everyone has a different message but yet it is the same. The synergy is humbling.

What is your path? How are you helping others? Are you looking for a way to make a difference or have you found your way? It warms my heart knowing I have helped someone on his or her path of healing. Tell me have you found your path? When you do it will be amazing.

Until the next time…
