Have you ever noticed how much your mood improves when you help somebody carry a box upstairs, or give someone a jump? Something special happens when we boost others beyond ourselves. Shout-out to anybody who has served in ANY branch of the military at ANY time for ANY length of time! It takes something serious to remove oneself from the picture to put the good of another first.
This post is simply about removing yourself from center-stage every now and again, and remembering how it feels to genuinely invest into someone else's life. Take time to make what's important to them, important to you. See where their heart's desire lies in this world full of opportunity and excitement. Pour into them some of the wisdom you received when YOU were going through similar situations. Knowing somebody truly cares for them and has their best interest at heart will give them a dose of assurance and confidence strong enough for them to face anything!
Sowing into other's lives is one of the best commitments you can make! So I challenge you - let your vocal chords rest for a minute. Ease off stage and put the spotlight on somebody else so they can shine. Remember your first big shot? That one big break that changed everything for you? Yep. It's time to allow someone else that same opportunity. Get them fired up about themselves! Let them know that they're the best to ever do anything worth doing! Encourage them. Support them. Love them endlessly. Go!
I promise they will be glad you did, and you'll have the best night's sleep you've had in years, knowing you just nudged them one step closer to their dreams.
