If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. –Booker T. Washington
Sometimes, the quickest way to get out of our blues is to lift someone else’s spirits. When we’re in our blues, we’re only centering on ourselves. But when we see that someone else’s spirits needs a lift, we’re moving outside ourselves. Our concentration is no longer on ourselves but on the other person. Our thinking shifts when we concentrate on others therefore, our feelings changes because we’ll beginning to connect positively with another human being. We’re beginning to feel better while they’re beginning to feel better about themselves. It’s a special relationship.
