Helping people

Written by Favour Ifeoluwa Olanrewaju

We live life by taking risks, we live life by having people in mind, we live life by helping people.

And what I mean by having people in mind is trying to help, wanting to help and helping as much as you can and in whatever way you can.

We live in a society whereby everyone just want to mind his own business. We live in a society filled with greediness and self centeredness. But one thing we are ignorant of is, not helping us affects us too.

There's this quote that says we rise by lifting others.

You might think it's just a mere mere sentence but it holds alot of meanings.

Take for instance you have the opportunity to help someone, and make that person great in life, but you didn't. Anything can happen, you might experience what you never bargained for and things can suddenly fall out of place.

That fellow you refused to help could be the only person that would have been in position to help you stand back on your feet, if only you had done the needful.

You know what makes the world beautiful, when I help you, and you help someone else, and that person helps another person... and the circle continues.

People helping people.

There are people who refuse to render help because they don't want the people they helped to become greater than they are. But I think that should even be our joy.

You live a good life when you derive joy in seeing people grow. Try to render help to everyone around you as long as it's in your capacity to.

There are different ways to render help. Giving out money is not the only way to help.

You can refer a friend to job opportunities, competitions that you know will be of help to them and so on.

Trying to have everything to yourself is selfishness.

You can even help academically.

Render help as much as you can, it pays to do so.

Give advice, motivate people to do things that will be profitable for them. Give out words of encouragement.

Don't help someone with the mind of getting it back. Helping alone gives you a good name that creates impact.

There are help you render to people that you might think you won't get anything out of it. But know this; when you help, you'll be helped.

You moving on the road or you're about crossing the road, then you see someone struggling with his or her loads. You're not carrying anything, try to lend a helping hand. It won't remove anything from you, rather... it will add to you.

Your roommate is very hungry and you have more than enough food, you can give. It's not a loss. Rather, you just gained something. Selflessness.

Selfishness won't take you far, it won't take you anywhere.

Spread out those tightened fists and render help.

Givers never lack.

No act of kindness is a waste no matter how small.
