“Could someone else benefit from your knowledge, your contacts, your expertise, etc.? Did you let them? Have you made a difference in someone’s life?”

First, answer these questions honestly in your mind. For yourself, no one else. Look deep down into your own conscious. Feel the emotions, the satisfaction or the regrets. Were you selfish? Did you turn someone away when you knew you could help them? Did you pretend not to know when you knew?

Now, I want you to picture someone you care about. Someone you would do anything for. They’ve just asked you a favor and you as always, obliged. You saw them smile and you became all warm and fuzzy on the inside.  Remember that feeling. Got it? Good.  Now I want to picture a stranger or an acquaintance who has just asked you for the same favor.  You, instead of listening to what they needed, tell them you’re really busy and leave.   How do you feel now?  Awful? Indifferent because you don’t really know them?  Guilty?

As people, we assign different emotions to different people in our lives.  Those we care about give us a HUGE boost of energy whether good or bad.  People we don’t know, well I guess we can take them or leave them right?  The problem with that is, EVERYONE in our life was at one time, a stranger or an acquaintance.  Hmmm, forgot that did you?  (smile)

Here’s what I’m getting at.  In order for us to make our world a little “better”, we must be able to treat each person we meet as though they’re a friend that we’ve known for a long time.  Do the favor.  Give them a minute of your time.  Listen to them vent.  Offer a solution.  By doing this we create a bond with another human being instantly.  Whether you ever see them again or not, you WILL always be connected.  Oh, and it doesn’t end there.  When you “sincerely” touch another human being’s life, they in turn will do the same for someone else, whether consciously or unconsciously and all of it because of you.  What an amazing concept!  We’re a feel good race who loves to feel like we make a difference.  This is one way you can.

I ask you again, “Could someone else benefit from your knowledge, your contacts, your expertise, etc.? Did you let them? Have you made a difference in someone’s life?” What would your answer be now?
