I am there for you are

I am there for you

How can you define helping people? How does one help people? Who is the intended recipient of this help?

Helping people is a universal activity. It encompasses everything from sharing your dinner with someone who has nothing to giving something to charity. Helping is an endless process, but it starts with one person caring about another person’s needs.

Let me start with a story. When I was very young, I can remember my mother used to share sweets between my brother and me. He was the younger one, so most of the time he got a little bit extra. Or that is what I was thinking😉 That made be furious. At that time sharing was not one of my strong points.

 

Moving on a few years. My mother loved making sandwiches for the kids at school that was less fortunate. My job was to hand out the Sandwiches. What a nice feeling that was. Seeing the Smiles on my friends faces. Times was tough then and still is now.

 

I remember both these stories very well. The second one I remember very clear. As helping other people, always make me feel great.

 

My favorite saying is. Help me help you help me.

 

One of my mentors, Les Brown was helping people by giving speeches for free for a long time, until he started to make money. He's goal was and is not to make money, that he says is a bonus. He also loves to say: If you can find out what you love to do, make that your career and get paid to do it. Then you are a very lucky person. 

 

As most of you know my career is IT, one part is helping people with their computers. The last few years I been Writing programs also, for problems and requests people have. That is also helping people but not directly.

 

When the people say thank you, my Reply is always Here to Surf.

 

I think we were placed on this planet. To help one another. As such, we were not created alone. The smallest place where you can see this is in a family. A dad can't Function on his own. He needs the mom to make the house, by cook food and look after the children… And the dad goes to work to get money. And then the kids give the joy and gives life a purpose. Single Moms Are the Best!!!

 

Some of the basic human needs are to feel needed, Connected and excepted. To feel that you are contributing.  

 

That is living a fulfilling life.

 

Before you can help someone else you need to be in the right space and mind set. But if you must wait till you are 100% there you will never help anyone😉

 

Les Brown was an adopted child growing up, very poor and look where he is now…. Is it because you reap what you sow? I believe so… There is nothing in this world. that is worth it that you can get without hard work, and it takes time…. Been wanting to become a public speak aka help people grow… for nearly 20 years. Been helping people along the way but want to do it lots more😉

I have had some practices with visiting the sick and the elderly. Also, with Sunday school kids😉

 

So in closing

The world is not an easy place for everyone. There are many people that feel that they are not needed in it or just feel left out. One way to help someone who feels this way is by sharing your time, attention, and activities with them.

Remember, we are here for one another. I am there for you are.
