There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life - happiness, freedom and peace of mind - are always attained by giving them to someone else.
Peyton Conway March
Sometimes we forget about the world around us because we are so focused on our own problems. It is this focus on our problem, that gives us more problem. If we can change that focus to something else or someone else that needs our attention or support, we can shift our own perception. Funny enough we are actually afraid to take our eye off our own problem because….we are afraid to lose track of it?!? Really? That does sound crazy and we do it. We don’t want to leave our problem unattended. We want to keep talking about it. We want to find a solution in the insanity of it.
So what if you step away from your problem. Whether it be financial, relationship, or work, – what if you stepped outside of it? What if you turn all of that energy into giving energy? What if you turn that very need you have into fulfilling someone else’s need? I know it’s scary to leave our problem but it’s scarier if you don’t.
Today look outside of yourself and see where someone else is struggling and give them the kindness and support that are so hungry for. You can change someone’s life to today.
I am so thankful for all of the amazing givers in my life. It is because of you and the amazing nature of your giving that inspire me to give more.
