You may never know how much you affect someone’s life, how much the things you do mean to someone else. I guess the greatest measure of how others are affected by something is how we ourselves are. I try to find positives in everything I am faced with, I choose to see the good in people not the bad. However I am finding it strange that the first thing I think of sometimes is not positive. I am training myself. Although my wife does a pretty good job of reminding me what my blogs have said.
I believe just a compliment can make all the differance to someone, imagine doing something that warms someone inside. It’s amazing to get that feedback. You know what I have learnt recently is very special. So simple yet so effective to everyone.
That is, that every time I/we do something for someone and they feel good about themselves and I/we find out, it makes me feel awesome. So in doing something for someone else we actually make ourselves feel better, it has a similar effect to me as laughing, such is the feel good factor. Why have I not learnt this sooner, that life is about how you can affect someone in a positive way. Can you imagine the effect on the planet if we all did that everyday. The world would be full of people smiling at each other, life’s not like that is it.
That is the reason I do it though, because it’s not the way of the world. I was never a follower, always wanted to do things differently. The first exsperience of cancer I wasted, I am determined that this experience will be positive to others. I want to thank you for reading, and hope that you will share what you read so others can benefit aswell. That could be the thing you do for someone right now. I don’t know why I want to share this link in particular, apart from it really spoke to me. I hope it speaks to you to.
Have a good day

There is so much good in the world that is not always noticed. The photo of the guide dog in training was the perfect picture to show that.
