Get Off Your Pedestal

One of the most fulfilling things in life is helping others. I know for the most part you have been thinking that everyone should help you, you should come first, you, you, you.... Unfortunately for you, that couldn't be further from the truth. You probably are the sweetest person you know, and your family and friends probably think so too. However, as sweet as you are, life does not revolve around you. Take a minute to do something positive for someone else and let those actions become a part of your everyday life. How often are you grateful for the things that are done for you that you voluntarily do housework without being told to do so? Even better, do you help out at home without viewing it as a "chore"? After all, helping out should be done as a kind act, not as a burden that you rather not be bothered with. Helping others is a positive way to say thank you or just to show your care and have concern for other human life. That is why if you are giving out of the kindness of your heart, you never expect any favors in return. If your life is full of free time, find ways to volunteer in your community, make sure your parents aren't always running around for you while you are chilling at home doing nothing. If you have smaller siblings, make tutoring or mentoring to them your goal. If you don't, find some children in the neighborhood to tutor or mentor to. Use your time wisely and always find a way to do some good instead of always feeling like things should be done for you. No matter what is going on in your life, there is always room to lend a helping hand. It helps to know that there is always someone who needs your assistance, no matter how big or small. So, get off your pedestal and do some positive things for others!!
