I’ve said before that it is not what is in your bank account that’s important…it’s what is in your heart account. When you help someone it adds greatly to your heart account and not only that, it adds to that persons heart account. Every positive action you take has a multiplying effect. The more kind actions you do and kind words you say, the more people around you will do the same. I believe it was Newton who said “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”. I believe that to be wrong when dealing with positive emotions in our lives. Every positive action has a multiplying effect on the hearts and minds of everyone that witnesses it. That is one of the reasons I believe good will always triumph over evil. When we witness evil or have something done to us with evil intent, most of us would never reciprocate it to someone else. When we witness goodness and kindness doesn’t that stimulate something in us to return it or pay it forward to someone else? That is what love is…a willingness to help when it doesn’t matter what happens to us in the process.
As I write this I am reminded of the story about the grandfather and the grandson walking along the beach full of sand dollars. If you don’t know the story please let me know and I will share it with you. If you do know the story I believe you would agree that the story is just like life for most of us. We go around and say what difference can I make? What can I do? All we need to do is realize it’s not about us. Everything we do or say to help another person makes a difference. Our good gets multiplied…that is the way God designed it. You may never know how much impact you have or the difference you have made in the lives of others. You may never know how many deposits you have made in the hearts of others. I assure you that if you do for others and help them get what they want, you will certanly have a hefty balance in your own heart…and that, will make all the difference. Your own perception will change so drastically, you won’t be able to contain the excitement. So go out and discover life, love, and the goodness or should I say (godness) in yourself.
