The Best Thing You Can Do For Yourself

‘The best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is- not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him; or say, to make him think for himself.’- George MacDonald

Do your own thinking. If you are not growing, it is because you are not doing your own thinking.

If you have not started doing your own thinking, if you have not started facing your own life, if you are still waiting for others to tell you what to do, how to live your life, what to do with your income, or where to take your next vacation, you are not thinking for yourself; other people are doing your thinking for you; you are not living for yourself; you are living for others.

If you are not where you want to be, maybe you are not thinking enough. Maybe you are hiding your greatness.

To get your promotion, you must do your own thinking. That is what great leaders do. They do their own thinking. They don’t wait for people to tell them how to think.

Thinking is the best thing to do for yourself. It is the gateway to your inner self. If you want to bring out the best in yourself, if you want to wake yourself up, you must do your own thinking.

Do not be scared to think. If you do not know what to think about, just think about when you were a little child. Maybe that will take you back to when you were not afraid to try different things.

Do it for you. Do not be scared of what is going to come out. Whatever comes out, you have what it takes to deal with it.

Deal with it. If you don’t deal with your secrets, they are going to deal with you. When they do, you are not going to be happy with yourself.

If you don’t think for yourself, if you do not do what you are supposed to do to get to where you want to be, life will not let you go unpunished.

If you don’t want life to deal with you, you must do your own thinking. When you do, you get bigger. And your world gets bigger.

The Power Of A True Friend

‘A true friend is forever a friend.’- George MacDonald

If you can’t find a true friend, then be a true friend to someone else.

We need other great, positive people in our lives. We need people who are going to be there for us when the going is no longer in view.

We need other people to lift us up when we are down, when we are not ourselves.

We need other people to be with us, but do not wait. Do not wait for others to be your friend. If you cannot be your own best friend, you are in trouble.

If you want to live a meaningful life, start by being comfortable with yourself. If you are comfortable with yourself, you can bring other comfortable people into your life. To put it another way, you won’t have any problem attracting other great people into your life.

No one can make you feel really comfortable with your inner self, with your real self.

Be your own best friend. You can make it happen. How? You start by loving yourself. By treating other people with respect.

People want respect. People want to be around other people who treat them with respect, with love, with dignity, with compassion.

And they want to stay away from people who do not respect them, who are self-centered, who are after other people for themselves, who are not happy, who don’t know what they want, and who are not going anywhere in life.

If you are having trouble finding your best friend, do not worry. It takes time to know people. It takes time to know who we are. And it takes time to know the world around us.

Do not worry about it. There is nothing wrong with you. When the time comes, you will meet your best friend. But before you meet your best, you can be your own best friend. How about that?

Remember, you are your own best friend. Why not celebrate yourself?
