What would you be happy and excited to help others with even if you didn’t get paid? This is a question that I have been asking myself for quite some time. There are so many things that I like doing, that make me exited, and that I would do even if I didn’t get paid. In fact I think because I have so many options I have trouble choosing one and making a start. Hence nothing gets started.<\/p>\n
I started this blog less than a week ago and already it has helped me immensely in starting to see where my strengths are and what people appreciate about me. I thank every body who has commented so far, you have no idea how much you are helping me find my path. That is exactly the reason I started this blog, as well as keeping everyone updated.<\/p>\n
To answer the question of the the title of this post. Over the past week or so, as I am going through this challenge of taking on cancer, some people have been thanking me for being strong, having a positive attitude, having a good outlook towards life even in hard times. In writing this post I’v been thinking, what do I say to these comments. To be honest I haven’t given it much thought till now. I think in general I don’t put to much emphases on them, but they are the exact things that make me feel alive and get me exited, the things that make life awesome.<\/p>\n
Other things that people thank me for. I love helping when ever I can, sometimes it is helping to get a car going when someone\u00a0left their lights on. I was the go-to guy at work when it came to jump starting a car. That was really funny seen as my car is little and it’s battery is tiny, but most of the time it got the job done. And I’d get a very appreciative thank you. Other times I’d buy someone groceries that had the need, and I always do these things without expecting anything back. That is key I think, helping because you can and want to, not hoping for something in return for it.<\/p>\n
These are some things that people thank me for, how about you guys. Leave some comments on what people thank you for and how that makes you feel. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
