If you need help in pursuing the mission you have been called to on this earth, find someone who is successfully following a similar path and ask for help and guidance. They have probably encountered the difficulties that you are experiencing right now. They may have overcome those difficulties through years of trial and error and could save you considerable time and trouble.

Truly successful people will be more than happy to assist you; to share with you what works and what doesn’t. They are more than willing to mentor you and show you how to get through the difficulties. I’m not talking about the fool who is out there telling everyone how to do everything. I mean the quiet success who is glad to help when asked.

If you ask someone for guidance and they refuse, then it’s very likely that they are not as successful as they appear to be on the surface. Our world is full of people who have put on a good show to impress others. So, if this happens consider yourself lucky; you have saved yourself a headache. Now go and seek someone who is a true success to help you.

Generosity is more then dropping ten dollars in the offering plate at church on Christmas Eve. It is more than financial. It is giving of your time, energy, talents, and strengths. It is finding how you can serve most effectively and then acting on that. It is giving up comforts in order for someone else to live.

Practicing generosity in every area of life leads to unimaginable success. Find where you can be generous today and do it. You will have a sense of belonging and fulfillment that you never dreamed of. A floodgate of good things will be opened to you and you won’t be able to contain the goodness that will flow into your life (as long as that’s not your motivation behind the generosity). Try it today and see how your life changes.
