Focus Outward

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. Booker T Washington

We often think that to lift ourselves up - to achieve more, to improve ourself, to be happier - we need to focus inwardly. ⁣
⁣
Yet, the paradox is that the more we focus outwardly, on others and their needs, the more we grow, the more we achieve and the happier we are.⁣
⁣
A little empathy, generosity of spirit and compassion goes a long way in this world. The little things make the biggest difference.⁣
⁣
It’s a great question to ask ourselves: what generous act could I do today to lift up someone else?⁣
