Muir’s Morning Motivational Minute

‘You make a living by what you get; you make a life by what you give.’

You might be thinking, ‘well, I don’t have anything to ‘give’ anybody.’ Sure you do! You see, I believe the word ‘give’ in that quote means much, much more than material possessions. There are so many things we can give daily, the list is never-ending. You can give your time to call a friend going through a difficult time, to listen to that friend, a smile, a pat on the back, a hug or even just a kind word. You can smile at a stranger, hold the door for somebody you don’t know or pay it forward and buy lunch for somebody you don’t know. Sometimes even the smallest gesture can change a person’s entire outlook that day. And maybe the kindness you show is the only good thing that will happen to that person that day, or that week. The amazing thing, while you are helping somebody else, you are also helping yourself more than you will ever know.
We all get so caught up trying to making a ‘living’ … but my prayer today is that we all try to find a few minutes each day to make a ‘life’ and give something back.

God’s blessings to you this day! Have a great Thursday and a blessed day.
