You may feel more helpful than usual today and thus be more than willing to put aside your own needs to help others meet theirs. If your main goal is to appear useful to others, you may discover that your efforts fall flat. Yet if your intention is simply to help others reach their full potentials by lending a helping hand as necessary, you will likely find that you can make a positive difference in the lives of your coworkers, relatives, friends, and acquaintances. Today, being of help can be as easy as offering your assistance any time you see someone struggling with a project or poring over a difficult problem.

We do our part to create an atmosphere of helpfulness and compassion when we make a habit of lending aid to those in need. Regardless of the form of assistance we render, those on the receiving end of our goodwill as well as those who witness our selfless acts typically find themselves touched. We not only serve as an example of what it means to be concerned with the welfare of all of humanity, but also inspire those we encounter to be of help whenever the opportunity presents itself. Similarly, the aid we give one individual can become the starting point for a larger movement of helpfulness because our assistance is a tool that they can then use when confronted by those in need of assistance. Your choice to accommodate those in need of help today will help you spread an attitude of kindness throughout your environment.
