1. Share appreciation
Tell
someone how much you appreciate the faith they've shown in you. Thank
them sincerely for being part of your life. Tell them how much they are
needed.
Feeling
appreciated is
one of the most important needs that people
have. When you share with someone your appreciation and gratitude, they
will not forget you. Appreciation will return to you many times.
2.
Share time
Balance
your time expenditures so you can spend time with the people that you
love. Support local organizations by sharing your special talents.
Volunteer time for projects that benefit others in your community,
country, and world.
When we slow
down and
observe our thoughts closely, we will
sometimes uncover gifts and talents we didn't know we had. Sharing time
and talents can result in discoveries that bring happiness beyond
measure.
3. Share knowledge and ideas
Tell someone about a great
book that you read so they can benefit from it too. Teach a new concept
or idea that you've learned.
One of the best
ways to
strengthen new concepts in your mind is to
share them with others. The more often you share what you've learned,
the stronger that information will become in your memory. Sharing
knowledge also provides solutions to problems. The more knowledge we
share, the more knowledge we receive in return.
4.
Share friendship
Acknowledge
someone's strengths. Let them know that you are willing to be there
when they need you. Visit someone you haven't seen for a long time.
Telephone friends or relatives who live far away. Introduce two friends
who don't know each other.
Bringing one
individual
into another's life can result in
tremendous changes for both people, and for you. We succeed with the
help of others. People grow by growing together. If you'd like to have
many friends, then share friendship with others generously.
5.
Share kindness
Perform
a random act of kindness for someone: a smile, compliment, or a favor
just for fun. These will multiply and spread very rapidly.
There is a
powerful
quote by Stephen Jay Gould who said, "The
center of human nature is rooted in ten thousand ordinary acts of
kindness that define our days." Kindness is priceless. The love,
kindnesses, and value we have given authentically to others will be our
remaining treasures at the end of life.
6.
Share experience
Keep
written or photo journals of your life: things you've done, places
you've traveled, things you've learned. Record successes and failures.
Share a happy memory. Also share the difficult times that have helped
you become stronger and wiser. When shared, the value of these
experiences multiplies.
Our unique
experiences
and perceptions of life are priceless.
Sharing experiences will build one of the strongest bonds with others.
Our descendants can learn and benefit from our lifetime experiences for
generations to come.
7. Share enthusiasm
If
you are excited about a new success, tell someone. If you're ecstatic
about a new project, show your glow. Your enthusiasm will inspire
others to move forward with actions that bring rewarding achievements.
Enthusiasm
keeps us looking forward to the future. It brings many of those
exciting days that we can savor with gratitude. That kind of glowing
excitement for life is impossible to hide. It is contagious and will
quickly spread to others.
