Amazing effects of making an attempt at helping
I'm sure you have heard in the training and if you have watched YouTube videos or read blog posts about working on your niche and offering people value. It's kind of given and not so much of an AHA type thing.
But what is really amazing is when the Epiphany really sets into your brain. Suddenly when you attempt to help someone, or just be nice to them when they are having a bad day, it seems like everything else in your world gets a little better! And the more you do it the better it gets. I'm no saint by any means! But I've been really working hard on practicing what I preach, and there has been some really cool stuff happening because of it!
Let's forget online business for just a minute and just take into account what people are going through around us. Maybe their marriage is breaking down, their health or the health of a loved one is in jeopardy. Maybe they lost their job and don't know how they are going to make the ends meet, or feed their family. There are thousands of possible scenarios that people go through every day!
Is a kind word to someone that difficult? This person may be having the worst day of their life and a random act of kindness or a kind word of encouragement completely changes their day!
If you don't believe me, put a post it notes on your fridge to remind you to do something nice at least once a day this week and watch what happens! I'm not saying that you should make someone's mortgage payment! But hey, if you can afford it?
I'm saying, hold the door for someone and tell them to have a great day. Pay the toll for the vehicle behind you and tell the booth operator to tell them have a great day! Random acts of kindness are, well, random!
I know the popular thought process is that you are receiving good Karma. However, you want to take it is up to you. In my world, it's simply the golden rule in action!
Have an amazing week !

Very true words Mike. In our modern society, we are all self-centred and think that we must do what is required to survive, even if it is to the detriment of others. I agree with you that the exact opposite is true, namely, if you help others succeed with you as a team sharing your knowledge, blessings and talents, you will get so much more in return.
Hahaha - how come you're never the guy in front of me at the toll booth? ;)
Great post mate
Awesome Mike ! By watering others, we actually water ourselves!

The Law of Attraction, Like energy attracts Like energy. When you spread positive energy to others the same comes back to you. :)
I love this! I don't have a problem with karma, but the Golden Rule beats it all over the yard!
Funny you mention to help others, I had an experience just last night and I wanna share it with you MIke.
It went like this, btw, I wrote this story to Michelle from Belgium for her post was somewhat like yours.
I was heading to a party I was hired to do and was hungry so I went over to Jack n' the Box that was along the way to my place of work. As ordered my meal, I noticed somebody not sure who it was, outside of the restaurant.
I had breakfast meal and a side salad. Didn't finish the salad so I asked for a package and put my half eaten salad in and left out the door. As I was about to go to my car I turned and an elderly homeless woman in her 70s, I assume, locked eyes with me. and I walked over to her and asked if she was hungry. She reached out to me thinking I was going to give her my leftover veg. salad.
I told her to come with me and let's get you something to eat. I told her to pick anything she wanted for it was my treat. She got 2 small burgers and a medium Coke. I asked her she could have anything she wanted, y'know there were better sandwiches other than small burgers. That was all she wanted and was appreciative of the treat. I gave her a hug. Funny, Mike she didn't smell y'know bad. I took she lived in a commune-like setup. I said goodbye and I left the restaurant. She followed me out and asked for $3.00 for bus ride back home.
I knew the district and it was 15 miles away.
For some reason, I believed her but instead of $3 I gave her a $20. Why did I do it???
Simple, I trusted her and yes Mike I too had the feeling it took
her guts and set aside her pride to ask me for an obvious help.
I didn't have the heart to deny her asking.
Thanks for sharing your experience for it does resonate with me.
May you enjoy a restful and restorative rest too, Frank! Thanks for the laugh!

Hi Mike
Awesome post - thank you!
I totally agree... "making somebody's day" always makes my own too!
Seeing their eyes and faces light up and a smile break through, to me, that is priceless.
And often times it is something as small as saying that I like how she styled her outfit, or that the color or item she is wearing suits her very well and compliments her skin / eyes / hair beautifully.
The other day a woman stopped me to chat and related how a compliment that I gave her a while ago, made such a difference in her life. We just never know how far and wide our good deed may ripple out, do we?
Wishing you an awesome day Mike!
