When most people begin there day, I believe it’s easy for them to get caught in a vicious cycle. They become too focused on doing things and forget about caring for others. I have to admit that I have struggled with this for a long time myself and I never thought of it as being selfish or uncaring. I was just conforming to the world and keeping busy with tons of activities, tasks and indulging myself.
I use to be a more self-centered person and I typically would only think about things that affected me personally. I didn’t feel comfortable around the poor or homeless people. I didn’t want to think about rapes, abuse or all the injustices of the world. I had a million things to do and I was having trouble keeping up with all the things that needed to be done.
It wasn’t until I started thinking about others and putting them first that changed the way I looked at the world. My heart began to soften and my eyes were opened to see others in a different light. The more I stepped out and helped others, the more I began to see the importance.
It deeply touches your heart when you see a tear in someone’s eye, or you see a person’s outlook on life change all because you were willing to take the time to care about them. My reward for helping others is making a difference in the world. I might not change a person’s situation but I can make a difference at that moment in someone’s life
