genuinely helping others out

You can increase the quality of your life by helping to put something extra to someone's life! Many subtleties in life come with you are helping out other fellow souls.

I understand this very well because I once went to a shop to buy a snack and I tossed the owner a $10 note. The meal costs $8.50 and the owner gave me back $2! I was surprised and reminded him that it was not right. He smiled brightly and said jokingly. "Yes I know but I do not have 50 cent change now would you believe it? I just take that as a discount for a new customer."

From then on, I visit the shop quite regularly and the owner is still as friendly as ever and I observe that his business is getting better and he has more goods on the shelf now. This may not be a perfect example. Yet it illustrates the finer side of life and how giving something little back will gain you more in the future!

Life can't be all about you! We need to inspire and motivate others and we get motivated in return. We are all affected by each other, your life makes a difference in my life, and my life makes a difference in yours.

Some of your greatest blessings, will come in the form of being a great blessing to someone else.

Therefore, take a genuine interest in helping someone else!
