~ Mother Teresa
If you haven't noticed a theme here this week, perhaps I have not been obvious enough.
The key to getting over our own challenges, problems, issues, and struggles is to dive into resolving other people's problems and focus on being there for them in THEIR time of need!
It is more than simply distracting ourselves from our own problems and worries, but by assisting others and making them feel stronger, we immediately become stronger ourselves with the action and effort!
It is a fact and it works and we can CONTROL IT!!
There is a tremendous commercial out there that essentially portrays people doing acts of kindness and after others happen to witness the act, they perform their own kindness acts later in the day.
I guess their point is that Kindness is contagious!!! And it is true!!!
We really never know how our actions affect others, both positively and sometimes negatively. So we need to make the effort to POSITIVELY impact others' days...and as Mother Teresa points out in her quote, it is as easy and effortless as a SMILE!!!
Try it today and see what happens!!
It costs nothing at all and can mean something so valuable to someone else!!!
Stay Strong!!!
