Love brings love. Help brings help. If you want to get ahead in your life, if you want to grow, if you want to change your world, you must help other people change their lives. If you want people to help you, to do something for you, to give you love, to make you a better person, you must put people first.

People like to help other people. Human beings are good. It doesn’t matter how many times you have helped other people. Keep helping people. The world needs helpers. The world needs dreamers. You can’t do everything by yourself. You need a mentor. You need someone to show you the way to where you are going. Why is that? Because if you don’t know where you are going, you will arrive at the wrong destination.

And to get yourself back, you need someone who loves you. You need someone who can really tell you what you need to hear. You need someone who is not afraid to talk to you. You need to hear the truth. When it comes to your growth, you need to hear the truth from your mentor. Truth comes from love. Truth comes from acceptance.

If you want to grow, you need other people. You can’t do everything by yourself. You can do something, but you can’t do everything. And don’t even try to be everywhere. Because if you do, you are going to end up at the wrong place. And if you are nowhere, you will never grow. So if you want to become who you were created to be, you need to put people first. When you put people, they will put you first. No matter how small or big, always try to do something to lift people up. According to Claude M. Bristol, “Always try to do something for the other fellow and you will be agreeably surprised how things come your way- how many pleasing things are done for you.”

People don’t want material things; they just want someone to be there for them. They want love. They want someone who will love and accept them for who they are. They want people who will lift them up. They don’t want to hang out with someone who is always putting them down. They don’t want to be around someone who is abusive. From today, always try to do something positive every day. If you do, you will always attract positive things into your life.

“Time is the most precious gift in our possession, for it is the most irrevocable. This is what makes it so disturbing to look back upon the time which we have lost.”- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Life is time. Time is life. We are not going to be here on this earth forever. While we are here, it is important to live our lives well. Time matters. If you cannot manage your time, you can’t manage your life. As the old saying goes, “How you live your day is how you live your life.” True. If you want to know how you spend your time, keep a daily journal to track your daily activities. I do it every day. To manage your time well, focus on what is really necessary. Focus on the things that can change your life. It is not enough to be busy. The question is: “What are you busy doing?

“You wish to be great, begin from the least. You are thinking to construct some mighty fabric in height; first think of the foundation of humility.”- Augustine of Hippo

If you want to do great things in your life, start with the little things. It is okay to focus on where you are going, but don’t ignore the little things. Because if you don’t do the little things well, you will find it difficult to achieve your dream. Small things count. Don’t ignore them. It takes humility to do the little things well. If you want to reach your destination, humility is the way. Humility opens doors. It opens the door to success. It brings other humble people into your life. It makes things easier for you. So, if you want to succeed, be a humble person.

“No man is free until he learns to do his own thinking and gains the courage to act on his own personal initiatives.”- Napoleon Hill

Don’t delegate your life away. If you do, you will regret the result. Do your own thinking yourself. Do not let people talk you away from your dreams. It is not easy to think for yourself, but if you have the courage to do it, you will feel better about your life. Don’t let fear stop you from thinking for yourself. Sometimes we don’t take the lead because we scared of the unknown. If you don’t have the courage to think for yourself, your dreams will not survive. Don’t kill your own dreams. Instead, feed your dreams with positive thoughts. According to Jim Stovall, “Dreams are the essence of life… not as it is but as it can be.” Feed it.

“Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: such as we are, such are the times.”- Augustine of Hippo

You always get what you are expecting. If you are looking for hard times, they will come to you. You will find them. If you are looking for good times, they will come to you. You will find them. To live your life well, don’t focus on what is not working, focus on what is working. Don’t focus on darkness, if you want light.
