The pressing need of everyone as the year kick-starts is the need for help. Everyone needs help in one form or the other.
Help can be defined as making it easier or possible for other individuals or entities to accomplish a goal by offering one’s time, service(s) or resources. ?
Each of us have capacity to help others ‘in the area’ of our 'gifting'. In the same vein, we are in need of help from others to maximize our potential.
According to Alex Haley – the author of Roots – “Anytime you see a turtle on a fence post, you know he had some help”. Isaac Newton also said, “if I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”?
In this new year, make a commitment to help others around you and you will see the significant difference it will make in your life by the end of the year.

1 年Thank you sir for this refreshing nuggets. I will also add that shifting peoples perception of "help" contribute to realizing the full potential of its essence. Our reality is such that some individuals may see help as entitlement and as such never use it as a springboard to benefit them in the long run. Never the less, we need to help anyway and enjoy help from others.
