How Well Do You Help Others?

Originally written in August 2016

How are you doing? Almost 8 months through the year. Pause . . . pause . . . pause.  Are you happy?  Are you contributing? Are you making a difference? Are you supporting others around you and being helpful? Start with family and close friends.  They’re your foundation.  There’s your workplace.  Are you in a healthy system?  Are you an asset, helping and contributing, leading, and developing others?  Or are you a whiner who creates issues? Are you feeling entitled? Are you dependable? Do you ask others for their ideas and encourage them to pursue them? Do you encourage people (whether they are 6 or 60 years old) to think and answer questions for themselves? For those who support you and your enterprise, do you help them more (or not at all?)  Everyone needs to learn to choose, make decisions, and explore the consequences of good choices and better options.  

You choose who you are.  What character will you model, at home, at work, in your global community?

What do you want the next few months to include, to feel like, to embrace? What do you want and need in your life to make it a life of service? The next few days and months are yours to choose, to lead.
