There is a saying that influenced my life while I was in secondary school and has stayed with me.
"If you want one-year prosperity, plant grains. If you want 10 years of prosperity, plant trees. But if you desire a life of prosperity, plant people".
For God loved the world, he had to plant his son - Jesus as an eternal seed for salvation.
One of the most exciting decisions you can make is to be on the lookout for opportunities to invest in others.
Selfish, self - centered people are often blind to opportunities.
You will always have everything you want in life if you will help enough other people get what they want.
The decision to constantly look for ways to help others, to invest in them would always change your life.
For instance, the essence of parenting is to learn first hand how to be an investor in lives. The investment you make as a parent create posterity for you.
But why is it that, we shy away from helping people?
The answer is so simple. It is because of the hurt, betrayal, and disappointments of the past.
Many have been betrayed by there family, parents, friends and even loved ones, and because of this, they have vowed never to help anyone, other than themselves.
A mentality of me, myself and I can never result in a blossoming destiny.
I have come to discover through experience that there are three keys to the more abundant living; caring about others, daring for others, and sharing with others.
I have also come to discover that truly great people have the unique perspective that greatness is not deposited in them to stay but rather to flow through them into others.
The truth is that we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
The world changer in you comes alive when you assign yourself the purpose of making others happy and successful.
People would always become what you inspire and encourage them to be, so start believing in people enough to help them. One of them might have the key that would unlock your next dimension.
Remember these two great truths:
Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and help them to become what they are capable of being.
The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit. Nelson Henderson
