Fill a Need Today

This is something that everyone can use. The universe does not actually revolve around any of us. In fact all of us have needs that as individuals we are unable to fill for ourselves. We depend on each other to accomplish pretty much anything. So as individuals we need to fill someone elses needs whether intentionally or passively. How much better is it when someone goes out and thinks about the greater good and fills your need?

These don’t have to be earth shattering; it could simply be opening a door for someone whose hands are full. In my work life much of this is listening to the folks on the team and hearing what they need or what roadblocks need to be removed so they can feel freed to do some work. If I can recognize that and help them work through it, their needs are met, they feel heard and valued & they are more willing to perform whatever task I need them to perform.

Personally it’s even more. We as a race have such a rare and fine gift that we use much to little. We have the capacity to address a need of someone that they are unable to fix for themselves. I get so much joy in seeing someone succeed or overcome because they received a little bit of help or just the support they needed to do something they didn’t believe in themselves enough to accomplish. Fear holds back many, if I can be a part of helping someone find success or happiness or just open the door for someone with their hands full. It fills me up.
