Help yourself to help others and help others to help yourself.

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Living life for the ones you intend to serve is the best way to stay motivated.

I definitely think including yourself in the list of people you're looking to serve is important of course, lest you lose yourself in service to others, which sounds nice but isn't such a positive thing in reality. (More on this below)

However, keeping a good body of people in mind as those whose lives you hope to enrich and bless keeps you moving forward in the right direction.


Thinking back to the reality of my life last year, I realize that I was extremely self-centered all-around.

I allowed my fear of being left behind by others to influence me - causing me to leave others behind instead. Both options are merely extremes on the same spectrum.

Looking at the positive turn my life has taken, I can safely attribute it to refocusing my intentions on helping people I know whom I feel are deserving of help. I'm looking to do for others the same good I am doing for myself.


The Catch

There's always a catch. :)

As I said at the start of this post, losing yourself in service to others, though attractive as some sort of happy ideal, is dangerous.

Lose yourself and you lose your ability to serve others. In other words, you lose absolutely everything in one fell swoop.

It is in doing the best you can for yourself that you can guarantee yourself enough influence and capability to help others.

If you have nothing, you have nothing to give.


Cryptocurrencies are a start in a new direction. They are the orchestrated future of humanity unfolding before our very eyes.

Cryptocurrencies are likely to overtake fiat money. This is probably by design.

Many will need help when they are caught in the rising tide of fiat debt and it would help if good people had the means to assist them.

We need to make solid choices now and help whoever we can to see the shift before it happens. We need to profit from the shift to ease the blow on those with no clue as to what is coming.

Help yourself to help others and help others to help yourself.


There are a great many elements to consider in perfecting and beautifying our reality. Choose not one of them, but all of them.

You cannot have trees without soil, soil without leaves or leaves without trees.

We are who we help and those we help carry us with them forever.

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
