Message of the Day - Being Blessed by Helping Others

Good Morning,

I am a blessed man.

· I don’t just say this because I am married to a wonderful lady.

· I don’ t just say this because I have loving and caring friends and family (including many of you reading this).

· I don’t just say this because of what I have accomplished in life…so far.

I say this because I have the pleasure of helping others.

· In little ways, by lending an ear to someone going through a tough time.

· In big ways, by helping a friend work through some of their toughest challenges they have ever faced.

· In anonymous ways, by sending money monthly to some family in Haiti who will never know who helped put food on their table for a year.

· In public ways, by helping the boys of my Scout troop to grow into honorable and respectable men.

· In practical ways, by picking up trash when walking my dog at o’dark thirty each morning.

· In impractical ways, by buying more doughnuts in the morning than my team can eat and giving them to other groups as a ‘thank you’ and ‘we appreciate you gift’.

· In personal ways, by fueling the passions of those who want to do what I have done through mentoring and encouraging others.

· In simple ways, by giving a simple pat on the back…at a strategically important moment.

· In complex ways, by being the part of a larger plan than just myself, where I work as leader or follower as necessary.

· In future ways, by learning and growing daily, I find new and better ways to help more and more people in bigger and better ways.

Helping others, even in the smallest of ways, like adding another log to the fire of your heart. It warms you and brightens your day all at the same time.

I am a blessed man.

And I hope all you who are reading this are likewise blessed for all you do to help others in all the ways you do.

Enjoy!
