#FootstepsofGREATNESS [5b)
The TRICK about helping people is that the help you need is in the help you give
Some of the people who appear to need our help are those who have the power to help us down the road.
God would bring us problems to solve for others in order to promote us. You know you are truly helping when your focus is on solving the problem rather than on the promotion you'll get.
There is a huge difference between stepping on the shoulders of people to rise and being lifted by the people we once carried on our shoulders. One is using people and the other is helping people and they don't yield the same results.
Are you looking for shoulders to step on so you can rise or are you looking for people to sit on your shoulder so they can see farther?
I challenge you to walk in the footsteps of Abraham:
Look for opportunities to genuinely help people starting with your immediate family, extended relatives and people around you.
IN BUSINESS- look for opportunities to solve problems for people and not opportunities to make money. Money will be a by product.
IN RELATIONSHIPS - Look for opportunities to serve others and not opportunities to be served. Others will serve you.
IN CAREER - look for opportunities to add value to your employer and not opportunities to be promoted. Promotion will follow.
IN LEADERSHIP - look for opportunities to empower people and not opportunities to be empowered by the people. Empowerment will follow.
Remember:
You may rise to a temporary mediocre height by stepping on the shoulders of people (use people) but you can never attain lasting GREATNESS until you are prepared to carry people on your shoulders (help people).
Only people who help people get help from people.
How about people who get up and forget you or people who return evil for good and innocent people who get hurt for helping other people?
I will answer this question in my next post....
