Do you have personal courage?
ByMost people are good people at heart. They mean well and want the best for their family and friends. For some reason people seem to stop their. A lot of people don’t act upon these feelings of well-being. That’s where personal courage comes into play. It is hard to go the extra mile for other people, especially people that you aren’t very close to. Well there is a big difference on wanting the best for others, and doing what is possible to help them achieve the best.
Has someone ever gone out of their way to do something special for you or help you, and you never expected it from them? How did that make you feel? Did it make you feel special and respected? Think about how you could make someone feel by a single simple small gesture. You could completely turn around someones “bad week” by extending a loving hand and doing a good deed for them. These good deeds we can do for other people, even though small, seem to be difficult to accomplish. We are so busy wrapped up in our own lives and what we need to accomplish for the day, people that are in the background or play small roles in our lives take a back seat.
It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant or lavish, just make sure it comes from the heart. Build up your personal courage to do these good deeds at least 2-3 times a week. I guarantee you will see relationships improve and friendships grow. You will notice others doing small things to help you out through your busy day. Whether it be a personalized birthday card to someone you barely talk to in your office or a phone call to a good childhood friend you haven’t talked to in a long time, good intentions add up…
Overall, try and do 2-3 minor gestures of good will to people you normally don’t spend that much time worrying about. If you don’t associate with him or her to often and don’t know much about them, this is a great time to get to know the people around you better. It takes a lot of courage to do something nice to someone you don’t know that well, but if you start to make this a habit, you will see improvement not only in their lives, but yours…
