Blessed to be a Blessing

This has been my personal motto in life that to life a live as a blessing to others. I've seen especially in this modern era many people are living a life without considering others' feeling. Have you ever imagine what will happen to this world if everybody just care about their ownself? Everything that you do is for your own purpose and for your own good? In other word, living a selfish life.There are times we'll meet such people or may be we have such friend or worse without realizing it, we ourselves are a selfish person. You may said that you are not, you may said that you are providing for you family, your wife/husband, your kids, and your little dog. But, what about providing those orphans, elderly, disabled, etc?

To me a selfish life is when you feel it's convenient to help or provide to those that you've already known but it's inconvenient to help those that you do not know. I've always believe that God bless us for a purpose and that is to bless others. Yes, we might start from our own family and relatives but eventually we need to be able to bless those outside our circle of influence, and that to me is an even more blessed life. Our blessing might not always be in the form of money, we can bless others with our words of encouragement, our actions, our time, our skills and abilities, and so on as long as all that we do bring smiles on their face. And the moment you see the smile on their face, you can't help but to smile back and that will lift up your spirit and brighten up your life. So, if you think that life is boring, why not start by blessing other people today and you'll find that there are more to explore in life!
