Communication is the Best Medicine

I have always heard that "it is better to give than to receive."  I have also heard it said that a person often feels better about life when they focus on others rather than themselves.

It is interesting that in our world today, so many things pull us to focus on only ourselves and what we can get for our own good.  Sadly, this is all too common in our lives today, and unfortunately, our culture and American society as a whole are slipping more toward that mentality every day.  

To counter that bent towards self-focus, I want to encourage you to do the right thing for others regardless of whether or not it benefits you personally.  Sometimes we need to realize how many people are watching us or how we impact and influence others.    

The key is to do the right thing and let what may come if it is to be.  That is precisely what these two stories convey.

Remember, actions speak louder than words.  

"It is better to give than to receive.  Giving is the best communication, and it is the best medicine too."  

How are you giving to others today?  You could be a key figure in someone's life today.
