How To Build Opportunities By Helping Others

When you Help Others You Are Really Helping You When you create opportunities for others, you are actually presenting opportunities for yourself. It is easy for us to only look at the world as what can I get, what I can take from situations, instead of what can I add and what can I give. This is not always something that we care to think about because it is easy to just accept things, without ever really thinking too much about how we can give things. If we stopped for a minute, think about all that we could give, we would be astounded about just what we could do by helping others in life. Sometimes in life you open yourself up to things happening for you because you opened yourself up to give a helping hand when needed most. When you think about what it is that you can get from helping someone, then you sometimes overlook these opportunities because we put our mind into the receiving aspect. By only looking at what's in it for me, you miss the opportunity to let these things come back to us without even trying. If you present the opportunity to allow someone else to have things that we take for granted, this flow of generosity always seems to find it's way back to us without so much as trying. I call this the "law of reciprocity". When dealing with this law, it is better to give than receive. When you do it from the heart, then there opens up a pathway, a channel for the positive that you have given to come back to you in an open ended way. You allow that positive notion to be returned in such a way as you might not even realize that it was because of something you did to help another person. Once you do this enough times in your life, you get these never ending moments of things happening out of nowhere. You become more appreciative and thus have the noble presence of mind to continue to give. When you make your heart one of giving, you begin to open your heart to receiving and allow that love to come back into your life. There have been many times where people have been mislead by this law thinking that just by giving, they were going to reap some great rewards for it. When that never happened, they became frustrated or disillusioned, feeling as if why give anything to anybody if there is nothing to gain? There is a reason for this. When you give, you should give because that is what you feel is the right thing for you. You should give out of your heart because you want to help someone genuinely. Don't think, how can this totally benefit me? Look at it as you are given someone else an opportunity. This begins to set into motion these things coming back to you. Now don't look for it to necessarily come from a direct result of you helping that person. By you helping them, should be your only concern. Your rewards comes in knowing that that person has been truly helped. You may have changed the direction of their lives like never before. In return that person could go on to affect change in this world like no one has before and it was a direct result of your initial help. Even if you never catch wind of what that person has done with the opportunity you provided, that same connection with you is still there. You give from the heart and let it go. You save up gifts of opportunity in order for it to become an opportunity for you in the future. Do this enough times and you will have a storehouse of great things waiting to happen to you. If we stopped for a minute, think about all that we could give, we would be astounded about just what we could do by helping others in life. Sometimes in life you open yourself up to things happening for you because you opened yourself up to give a helping hand when needed most. When you make your heart one of giving, you begin to open your heart to receiving and allow that love to come back into your life. When you give, you should give because that is what you feel is the right thing for you. Look at it as you are given someone else an opportunity.
