Good day guys, how are feeling today? Welcome to the first weekend in January and in 2022. It's a time to rest and prepare against the coming week.
Let's quickly go on to having a recap of yesterday's article.
There's something popular now that is everywhere and to me it is not a very wrong one because it's a selfish mentality. It is that you should only be friends or close with people that you can benefit from. It is also common for people to now only want to invest in people just because they have things to benefit from them. There's a problem with this kind of mentality and it is that you unconsciously hinder yourself from being a blessing to other people.
This mindset should be allowed to thrive on because it is a very bad one. You only live one and everyday should be an opportunity to help people and bless as much lives you can. We should always live with the mentality and readiness to help everyone that comes across you without necessarily expecting to recieve back from those you rendered help to.
It's not everyone that will be able to repay whatever good you've done to them. Is it now best to stop helping people because of they cannot repay you. Personally, I believe that you should always be ready to use every opportunity we get to help people. It's such a beautiful thing to help people in their everyday activities, it gives joy and fulfilment.
The mindset of looking for people that you'll benefit from to help them will just make you loose opportunity to have great relationship with people that have the potential to be great in life.
Even though they cannot impact you now doesn't mean they will not be able to later in life help you. No one knows tomorrow. The person that you helped today might be the stepping stone to your success tomorrow.
The summary of everything is that you should try to impact every one you come across.
Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted.
Everyone has been through it. Those pains that you wish would go away. Those wounds that you wish would heal. Those moments where you just want to forget everything.
if you're having a hard time in your life and you feel like there's no way out, take a look at these 20 photos that prove that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade instead of just saying to the lemon "what about those sour times?"
Lemon is sour but it can also be sweet when we look at it from another perspective. We should learn to avoid being bitter about the bad things that happen in life and just embrace and look at the brighter side of life.
You have to understand that life always comes with a price tag but it's up to you whether you want to pay the price or not. If you're always trying to be perfect and live perfectly, then in return, you'll receive a lot of pain and suffering in your life.
Life is a gift of God. We should not just be happy that we are alive, but we should also appreciate life. Counting the blessings in life will make us feel better, more contented and gives us reasons to have hope. Here’re things to be grateful for-
1. Eyes – being able to see the beautiful sunrise, the sunset and our loved ones
2. 2. Ears – listening to music and hearing our loved ones
3. 3. Mouth – tasting food, and also sharing it with someone you love
4. 4. Nose – sensing smells and feeling the crisp air
5. 5. Hands – using it to give hugs or even nails to write down your thoughts or your next blog post
6. 6. Arms – wrapping them around someone you love
7. 7. Legs – running, walking or even dancing
8. 8. Heart – loving, accepting other people and forgiving them
9. 9. Tongue – tasting foods, candies, ice cream or even using it to say “I Love You”
Life is not easy but you have to always be optimistic that things will get better because the sun will rise again after the darkness of night. If someone has done you wrong then forget about it and move on with your life. Be joyful. Smile because nothing is over until God says its over. Try your best to make it a better tomorrow.
Letting go of all your worries, pain, hardships and going to sleep saying, I had a good day, might be the best way to end your day.
Thanks for reading through.

That mentality of people only helping other people by what they can gain needs to stop. We should all start by living as examples by doing good to others even tho you won't get anything out of it
