All too often we get caught up in the day to day USA grind of work, family, friends, entertaining ourselves, etc. Why is it that we spend very little time helping others? Instead, we spend the majority of our time serving ourselves. This will never fulfill our souls. So, we are quite deceived aren't we? What do we do?
My favorite motivational speaker of all time says, "If you help enough other people get what they want you will always have what you want." - Zig Ziglar Ohhhhhhhhhhh, how true that is.
Instead of picking up that TV remote or surfing the Internet. Let's take one tiny 5 minute step today to serve someone else with a phone call, an email, or something that says "Hey, I am here to help you. Can I take out your garbage, clean your dishes, drive you somewhere, clean your house, watch your children, etc."
Let's no longer be deceived into thinking that the Ipod, Internet, the TV, the video games, the shopping, or anything else is more fulfilling than serving another person. The more we give our life away the more we will fulfill what our souls desire.
I have never known a giving and serving person to feel lonely for very long. Why? Because they seek to give instead of to get.
Tip #20 "Life is found in giving our life away."
