Helping Hands Help Everyone

"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember you have another hand: the first is to help yourself, the second is to help others." - Audrey Hepburn, actor 

Helping others has become my focus these days. I've come to find out that when I focus on helping other people, I forget about my own problems and issues. That brings me peace.

I know that it is also healthy to ask for help. I can do the footwork in moving towards a goal of mine but sometimes it is necessary for me to ask for guidance along the way as well. Never asking for help leaves me to my own devices and I'm not always the best judge when it comes to going after what I want. My selfish wants get in the way periodically. That's why it's good for me to ask friends for help and suggestions while I'm doing what I need to do to achieve my dreams and aspirations.

Helping others helps me more than it helps them. I am able to get out of my own head, help people, and learn from others all at the same time. It's a great reward system. Today I will help those who need it and I will help myself in the process. I am grateful.
