Hello Community, May this sharing find you well.Today, I was reminded of one of the reasons, I am involved with promoting additional income stream options. I was contacted by sister who dealing with recovering from a case of pneumonia.This physical attack on her health, left her tired and weak.Yet, even in this weakened state of physical being, her interest in bettering her financial options was strong. She called me to let me know why she had not been in recent contact.I was too through. She took some of 1440 Free Will Life Credits to share with me why she had not been in contact. To let me know her interest was genunine and just wanted let me know she still wanted to be involved.Ok, here is the real greatness of this moment.Normally, I can only offer encouragement to get better, which is cool.But it was even more powerful, to be able to offer assistance in helping this sister improve her physical and financial health.I stated to her, That her well being , first and foremost, was most important, all the dollars in the world , can not replace great health.To do what ever it took to get better.Then I got share thisThat she could continue to work her home based business, as her health permitted. She could make phone calls to local businesses or share with the medical personnel she had to made contact with.She really does have a REAL business. One that did not require $1000s of investment dollars. One that could assist in acquiring lifestyle improvements.A business that could help generate income that , if she become physically challenged again, she could afford to get great medical assistance ( I am thinking - a come to my house nurse or doctor yeah!!).A business that would allow here peace of financial mind to know that bills could be paid while she recuperates and her business was still generating dollars while she rested.How do I know these are realistic outcomes. Because I am on her team and building business everyday. You see, here is another neat reality, my health is fine and I am a busy fella building this business we are involved in , both of us benefitting. WIN-WIN.Even while she is getting better. Even though she cannot put a lot of time to business building, she is part of team, that is helping each other grow.This is what I realized, it is great to be in position to positively help another!!!Yeah, making great income is cool and desired by most, including yours truly.However this exchange did not require $1. Just a real expression of consideration and reciprocation. Something that money can never buy.Ok, it may not seem like much to many, however, to me, it is real reminder of Why I bother, Why I care, Why I persevere, Why I share,It is my WHY!Community Neighbors may your day be most fantastic and productive. May you too have an opportunity to care and show you care for another.This really is a GOOD LIFE, we often get so caught in the pursuit that we miss the riches we already have.So, keep on promoting your business interest, however, you may want to pause for the cause, get in touch with your WHY. You may find yourself having a real good feeling overcome you and smile spread across your face.NETWORKING INCREASES NET WORTH IN MANY WAYSNetworkingly yours,RickeyThe Cell Phone Revolution Guywww.juniques.net
In her her novel, Pay It Forward, Catherine Ryan Hyde tells the story of a boy's belief that a single individual can change the world. Of course we all know that's true, and my prayer this week is that we all will manifest this truth in our lives as Indie Business owners. Perhaps no where is the opportunity to make a difference more apparent than when we are given a chance to help another Indie through a difficult time.
Every week, I talk with Indies who are dealing with some really tough issues. Divorce, a young teen daughter's pregnancy, depression, family illness and death, job loss -- the list is endless. And so is our opportunity to make a difference by paying it forward. That is, because we have endured a challenge or tragedy, we are therefore equipped to pay it forward by helping someone else do the same.
Undoubtedly, one of the reasons we suffer at all is so that we can help the next person coming along behind us. In this way, like the boy in Hyde's novel, our pain eventually allows us to be of service to others.
A verse in the Bible backs up this train of thought in the sense that, once you have suffered, you can help someone else down the road.
When my father passed away last year, I received many cards, letters, phone calls, blog comments and emails of heartfelt condolence. I appreciated every single one. But the ones that were most helpful were those sent by people who had lost a parent. They knew my pain firsthand and they could tell me what to expect. I could see from their lives that mine would go on, even without my beloved father.
It's always a blessing to be encouraged by someone who has triumphed over the very troubles that you are encountering. Their words of comfort and wisdom are meaningful because they have hiked the rough terrain before you, and emerged victorious.
Are you going through some tough times? Maybe God is giving you the experience that you'll need to help someone else later. And not only that, you are being strengthened in your spirit in the process. It is not wasted.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1:4.
What Do You Think?
Have you been challenged lately? Or maybe you've enjoyed victory after a dark time and are now able to help someone else.
Pay it forward and encourage another Indie today. You never know whose life you will change simply by taking the small step of sharing your victory.
