“True friendship isn't about being there when it's convenient; it's about being there when it's not.” unknown
(Testimonial)
”Adding value to someone else’s life increases the quality of yours! Going out of your way to help someone will add value to your life. You are presented with opportunities in life many different ways, some of my advancements in life came from helping someone else out!
I run a t-shirt screen printing company outside of [my blog: http://www.disciplineyourself.com/].
Well last spring I was at a supply shop and I noticed a guy standing in the back in need of assistance. So I asked him do you need some help, he asked did I work here, I said no but I can help you. He told me what he had to do a school project printing some t-shirts, and he didn't know where to start. For 15 minutes I explained to him what was the best way to get his project done. I told him my methods and tricks, told him the best products to buy, and I also offered to help him if he needed.
Before he left he told me " thank you for help" , I said "don't worry about it, just be a blessing to someone else". He gave me a peculiar look and asked for my number! A few months later he called me and said someone gave him a pretty large order, and he wouldn't be able to print them, would I be open to take the order? Well it turns out that the customer he turned over to me ordered thousands of dollars worth of shirts and he was one of my largest customers.
All because I unselfishly went out of my way to help someone else out!
Life can't be all about you! Our life was meant to inspire and motivate others, we are people that move according to our emotions. There is a reason people cry at the movies, cheer at basketball games, laugh at jokes, and give when happy! We are all affected by each other, your life makes a difference in my life, and my life makes a difference in yours.
Some of your greatest blessings, will come in the form of being a great blessing to someone else.
Action: Take a genuine interest in helping someone else!
Thank you for reading my blog, you inspire me to continue to write. God Bless

How Helping Others Benefits YOU
Everyone wants to lead a happy and fulfilling life, so it’s natural to want to put yourself and your health first! However, helping other people can also directly help you at the same time. Not only will you feel good about yourself, but you’ll also notice that others are more willing to help you in return!
Here are a few ways that helping others can benefit you:
1. Giving attracts more back to you. When you give, you’re more likely to receive. You don’t necessarily need to keep the receiving in mind when you decide to give, but nature may just take its course. Maybe a friend will unexpectedly return a favor. Maybe you’ll stumble upon some good fortune.
2. It brings you a good feeling. If you volunteer your time to help others, you’re sharing your blessings with those less fortunate, which is a wonderful gift to be giving! You’ll likely return home after volunteering with a smile on your face and a drive to achieve more. Just by completing a giving act, you receive positive feelings in your life.
3. Heightened self-esteem. When you help others, you may be helping yourself to a heightened self-esteem. Positive feedback for your good deeds enables you to feel pride in your accomplishments, as well as build momentum for bigger and better things.
4. Strengthened confidence. After you’ve done something nice, you may also find that your confidence soars. The fact that your helpful acts have turned out so positive might lead you to the confidence you need in your own life.
5. More positive about your own situation. Sometimes you’ll find that you’re your own worst critic. You might accept the faults of others, but you may be less likely to accept your own. Helping others can help you to accept your own situation and your own faults. It may help you to start seeing everything in a more positive light.
Spreading Positive Energy
You may not often think about how your moods and feelings affect the world. If you go out with a frown on your face, you might be spreading that negative energy around without knowing it. The opposite is also true. So why wouldn’t you want to go around passing out positive energy?
The truth is that when you make an effort to help others, you’re showing that you have the power to spread positive energy. The people you help may even be overcome with positive emotions. One by one, you keep the train of positive energy chugging along.
You Make A Difference
When all is said and done, the main reason why helping others benefits you is because you’re leaving your mark on the world. When you help others, you live on in their memories as a true difference in their lives.
For many, leaving their mark on the world is one of their most important desires. Doesn’t it make you feel fulfilled to know that you’ve made a positive difference in the world? And it all starts with some simple gestures of helping your fellow members of the human family.
Seek out opportunities, today, to help others. You’ll be glad you did!
