Do you have a specific challenge in your life that is bugging you? How much time and energy is your current challenge costing you? We all have our own set of struggles and disappointments. That is life. The fact is…WHAT WE FOCUS ON EXPANDS. Therefore, when we have a problem, the more we worry about it, the heavier the burden it becomes.

Would you like to shift that burden and get the weight of it off of your shoulders? It can easily be done. Simply shift your attention off of your problems and on to a more productive focus. The more productive focus would be, “WHO CAN I HELP TODAY?”

Despite the current challenges you are facing, you are always capable of helping someone else. My dad has always told me, “There’s always gonna be someone who has more than you, but there’s also always someone else who has less.” Which side do you choose to focus on? You see it doesn’t matter how low you feel or how down you are. If you stop and look around, you will find someone who could use your help. By stopping and helping that person, you will experience the shift in your cares and concerns. Through serving and helping others we gain joy, purpose, and prosperity. The very key needed to unlock your breakthrough can be found through serving and helping others.

I encourage you today to pause your busy life and find at least one person and one way to help someone. Below are some ideas:

• Send a card of encouragement or appreciation to a co-worker, family member, or neighbor.

• Anonymously send flowers to someone who could use some color in their day.

• Make a meal for a family or elderly neighbor.

• Mow a lawn for a neighbor.

• Give something you don’t use away, instead of selling it. 

• Volunteer an afternoon at a shelter or non-profit.

• Go to a park and pick up trash.

Every day there are so many opportunities to help others. Be on the lookout and seize every opportunity, then watch the levels of joy and prosperity in your life rise.
