CEASE EVERY OPPORTUNITY

Giving is an act that we all have to cultivate somehow whether or not we like it but then we only get blessed when we do it out of a cheerful heart. The world is a big, yet a small globe and that's because whatever goes around will surely come around. As long as you have a good conscience, there is never a day that goes by that you don't have the need to be of help to someone.

My dad is a really big influence when it comes to how much I enjoy being of help to people. He never turns a blind eye to those who are in need no matter the little he has and at some point I was even angry because it was too much but later I got to realize that I was wrong. I started feeling remorseful for those days when my dad will give an helping hand to people and because of that I started cultivating the habit of also helping.

Most times when I want to help someone I'd always feel like I'm not the only one and that person should go find someone else to help them but then I realized that it is more blessed to give than to receive so I always made sure to grab every opportunity I get to help anyone at anytime. And even as I give to these people, I'm never expecting anything back from them.

Recently, most of the people around me have been in need of help both in cash and in kind so I've been supportive in any way I can. Soon one of my sisters will be getting married and she's definitely going to be needing a lot of help and I'm planning on going to help her out once she calls me or even before she calls me. I'm actually feeling too burdened by the fact that I might be called at anytime but then it's something I can do so why not?

I'm not married yet but I know how hard it can be for those who are planning for their marriage ceremonies so I've put it in my mind to help her out when I can. We don't live together so it is going to be hard but then I'm trying to settle a few things at home so that I won't have any reason not to go help her when the time comes.

Helping people means one has to make a lot of sacrifices because I've tried it before and I know how much I had to sacrifice just so I can be there for someone and even though it hurt me at that time, now I feel so lucky and privileged to be the one who could be of help to them at the time they needed help because even if I didn't help out, someone else would have done it. I know there are so many people too who have gone out of their way to also help me out so doing the same for someone else is a great opportunity.

People are always going to be in need of our help at some point just as we also need others too. But it is always more blessed to be the one giving than being the one receiving so I'd always try to keep ceasing every opportunity I get to help those around me and even those that I don't know as the year comes to an end and as we begin a new year.

This is the last topic for the year in the Hivelearners community and I'm so happy I could participate in it. We have just less than two days to the year and I hope to see you all in the new year 🥳🥰. Keep being the best of you and always cease every opportunity to put a smile on someone's face even as others do the same to you 🤗 because trust me, if you don't do it for them, someone else will and you will be the one at the losing end!

Thank you so much for stopping by, don't forget to always stay AWESOME and JIGGY!!!
