The American dream is quoted as "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness!" You see this pursuit of happiness day in and day out. People crowd the malls and local boutiques in the pursuit of happiness. Others flock to relationship seminars hoping to find the answer to finding their soul mate. Millions consult financial guru's to learn how to navigate the waters of financial turmoil and to become credit worthy again. But what if these talented people decided to keep all that knowledge to themselves? How would we ever survive?
Searching for your pursuit of happiness solely for self fulfillment is dead ended. Yes you should dream and speak your aspirations into existence but when they come alive you ought to share them with others to find TRUE happiness & success.
If you're a musician don't compose soley for self, listen to your audiences heart and speak to them. If you're an artist, don't paint or draw soley for self, pay attention to your fan base, ask them what they would like to see more of.
If your gifted with the art of relationship and marriage, help others to reach that level of happiness in their lives by sharing your wisdom. Remember that if your dream is marriage your fulfillment of happiness will come from fulfilling your partner, your children and those you impact as a couple.
If your skilled in the art of styling, help others to experience the joys of 'dressing the part.' Everyone wants to look their best and simply sharing your fashion secrets could greatly improve the lives of some wanting to look and feel better.
If you have been blessed with the gift of discernment help others see what it is you see.
If your area of expertise is physical fitness, health or nutrition find a way to help others to reach their fitness goals.
If your gift is being financially savvy, explore opportunities to help others out of debt and avoid financial pitfalls with your knowledge base & personal experience.
In closing, whilst in the pursuit of your dreams and finding happiness pay attention to those placed in your lives. Challenge yourself to find ways to use your dream, talents and gifts to feed others. Find the connection. ♥ There is more than enough success to go around ☺
" …Freely you have received; freely give" (Matthew 10:8, NIV).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
There are a lot of people who are successful in this world. They’ve accomplished their goals in the public eye. But being successful isn’t just about what you make happen for yourself, it’s about what you make happen for others. It’s when you realize, “God has blessed me not to just sit on my throne and let everybody see my accomplishments; God has blessed me to be a blessing to others. God has helped me to win so I can help somebody else win.” In other words, it’s when you realize, “God helped me overcome this addiction, now I’m going to go find somebody and help them overcome.” Or, “God has blessed me with a happy family. I’m going to go find a family that’s struggling and help them get back on track.” That’s what being successful is really all about.
Today, look for ways to help others succeed. Reach back and give freely of the talents and abilities you’ve been given. As you do, you’ll rise up higher and live in the fullness of the blessing God has prepared for you!
