THERE’S NO BETTER EXERCISE FOR THE HEART THAN HELPING SOMEONE UP

What we do for ourselves alone dies with us; what we do for others is timeless. No one is more deceived or cheated than a selfish person. ‘’No man was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.’’ said Calvin Coolidge. Invest in the success of others. When you help someone up a mountain, you’ll find yourself close to the summit, tool.
Proverbs says, ‘’it is possible to give away and become richer! It is also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything. Yes, the liberal man shall be rich! By watering others, he waters himself.’’ ‘’What I gave, I have; what I spent, I had; what I kept, I lost’’ (Old Epitaph). You and I were created to help others.
If you treat a person as there are, they will remain the same. If you treat them as if they were what they could be, they can become what they could be. Practicing the Golden Rule is not a sacrifice; it’s an incredible investment.
You grow to the extent that you give out. By giving out, you create more room to grow on the inside. So, don’t give till it hurts; give till it feels good. Make this commitment: to leave others better than you found them. If you want others to improve, let them hear the nice things you say about them. People will treat you the way you view them. Find the good in everyone. Draw out their talents and abilities. To lead people, let them know that you are behind them. It is the duty of all leaders to make it difficult for others to do wrong and easy to do right.
What means most in life is what you have done for others. Most people can smile for two months on five words of praise and a pat on the back. The best way to encourage yourself is to encourage someone else. ‘’Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.’’ said James Mathew Barrie.

I find this very true. What you say also links to positivity. Being positive will help others around you be positive and the cycle should continue.

It's the truth. Being full of positivity brings possibilities but being full of negativity brings only tragedy & failure. Thanks dear

You are welcome

When you are always positive that means you have an integrity.

The best way to encourage yourself is to encourage others

Loved this part.
