Don’t Keep Yourself to Yourself

Sometimes life is hard. So often we seem to choose to make it even more difficult instead of making it more simple, less stressful. A job search is certainly one of the more stressful times of life. Finding ways to make it more simple, less stressful is important to its success. It is important to find ways of self empowerment. I have always found that when helping others I actually seem to feel energized, stronger. If you are not familiar with D J Meade check him out.

Don’t Keep Yourself to Yourself
17 08 2009

Think of all the wonderful things you’ve learned from a friend, a parent, a mentor, or another leader. Do you think those people know infinitely more than you do? Do you think what you learned was something only they knew? NO! You learned something from them because they were willing to share of themselves with you. Sometimes the most powerful things we learn from others are mentioned in passing. They are things that are part of that person, which is why they come out so easily and casually.
Sometimes in the pursuit of our own potential we forget to share what we learn or what good habits we possess with others. It’s often the things we do naturally everyday that will make the difference in the life of another. Because we don’t consciously think about those things, it’s sometimes harder to consciously share them. Sit back and think of the things you do well. Think of your friends and why they are your friends. What value do you bring to them that they can’t get from anyone else? If you can identify what that is, you’ll more easily be able to share the benefits you bring.
Share yourself and make your home, office, neighborhood, country, and your world a better place.
