It is easier to pretend that nothing is bothering us than to face the real story. We like to pretend that everything is perfect in our lives. Let us face it. Nothing is perfect in life.

It is better for some of us to push our problems aside than doing something to fix it. Even when we know the end results of what we are doing to ourselves, to our organizations, to our families, and to our communities. We still do it. The question is, “why?”

We don’t like to look in the mirror to see who we really are. But you can’t blame the mirror for showing the real you. That is the real you. If you don’t like the person inside the mirror, change it. Only you can do that. I can’t do it for you. It is your responsibility to change the person inside the mirror.

We don’t like to face our problems because we think they will go away by themselves. If you find yourself in such a situation, don’t beat yourself up. There is a way out: face it, and change it.

It takes courage to make change happen in life. But if we don’t change what we don’t like about ourselves, we are just going to keep struggling with the same devil. The devil is there. It is not going anywhere.

We are all going through something in life. We all have one or two things to fix. We want to get rid of it as fast as we can, but change takes time. Real change takes time. If you are going through something in your life, don’t pretend that everything is alright, when it is not. If you do that, you are deceiving yourself and the people around you.

If you want to change the thing that is affecting your life, take a bold step to fix it. The only way to solve a problem is to take action. ACTION CURES PROBLEMS. If you keep pretending that nothing is wrong, the thing will continue to bother you, and it will continue to affect you.

If you don’t want something to keep bothering you, you MUST bother yourself to take action to change it. If not, it will continue to bother you.

Forget Yourself In The Process

There is joy in helping other people. There is connection in helping other people. There is life in helping other people. There is happiness in helping other people. There is.

As Anne Frank famously put it, “No one has ever become poor by giving.” That is right. When you help other people discover who they are, when you help other people find happiness in their lives, when you help other people achieve greatness, you are helping yourself. There is life in helping others. It will come back to you.

You will enjoy helping others if you are not expecting anything in return. You will enjoy helping others if you forget yourself in the process. If not, you are going to be exhausted, because no one will be able to pay you back what you have given to them. You will enjoy helping others if you just do it.

Whatever it is that you do, forget yourself in it. Forget yourself in the process, in the game, and you will enjoy the game. Don’t think of what will go wrong, don’t worry about the outcome, don’t worry about why you are even doing it, just do it! Just focus on the process, and you will never regret doing it.

When you help people, just help. Be a helper. The world needs more helpers.

Be a helper. You can help in a big way; you can also help in a small way. Help other others, and others will help you. Serve others, and others will serve you. When you do it, remember to forget yourself in the process.
