I have a question for you today…..How much of your life do you share with others? Your joyss and celebrations. Your achievements or goals. Your dreams and ambitions. Your time and knowledge. How often do you share these things with others in your life? I know I say it often, but we really were meant to live life together. If only the majority of the world could discover this one concept: life is better lived when it’s lived with others. So today, don’t be afraid to share that new piece of knowledge you just gained! Don’t fear sharing your dreams and goals. After all, you need someone else to help you achieve them! How can anyone help you reach your potential in life if they don’t know where you’re wanting to go? Think about this today. Consider with whom you could share your life with. Then do it! Don’t wait! Ask them for a minute of their time and share. After all, I think you’ll find that most people would be honored to be a part of helping you reach your life’s goals.

How many new people have you met today? This week? This month? This new year? If I were a betting man, I would say that most of us stay in our little circle of co-workers, friends and family and don’t too often venture out to seek new people. My question is this, ‘Aren’t we here to build relationships? Not fear them?’ I know in our society today we teach just the opposite. We basically teach that we should fear meeting others and that we should fear other’s that are different than we are. But what kind of sense does that make! If we are wired naturally to seek and yearn for relationships then why in the world have we let the fear of them creep in? Expand your circle friends! When you do you will notice a change. And the change is nothing but positive. There will be a change in opportunity. A change in success. A change in your attitude. A change in your spirit. In other words, your life will change for the better! Try it! Meet someone new today and nurture that relationship. Challenge yourself to meet 5 new people this week! As you do, don’t forget to enjoy the blessings you will gain from welcoming your new friends to your life!

‘Love isn’t love….until you give it away.’ This is one of my favorite sayings that I keep with me always. It is actually from a song that artist Michael W. Smith wrote and performed a few years ago. Every time this thought runs through my head it is nearly always followed by this question: ‘What have I given today and to whom have I given?’ How often do you ask that of yourself? We let our days go by so fast and unfortunately so many of those days are void of giving. So friend, today as you go about your life remember that love truly isn’t love until it has been given away. Love is not selfish but instead is giving. Love sacrifices and is patient. Love causes us to serve and put others before ourselves. Make it your goal today to give something away to help someone in their life. Make it your goal today to truly love.
