Are you stuck?

Have you ever wonder why you're running and as if you're reaching nowhere?

You feel stuck.

You feel lost.

You feel exhausted.

You feel you're lacking.

You think you're making progress, but at the end of the day, you realize there's no progress at all.

I experienced that. I know the feeling of being stuck.

I tried everything that I need to do to move forward. I tried to copy the things the people who are making progress do. But sad to say, I didn't move. I'm still there.

I've searched for answers. What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? What's the secret why others are progressing, and I'm stuck?

Here's an answer: You feel stuck because your blessings are not supposed to just stay upon you. It is supposed to be shared. It is supposed to flow like a river.

Maybe you have felt this way just like what I did. Have you felt God's blessing upon you every morning? His mercy? His love? His kindness? Did you also do what I did? I used to enjoy those things ALONE.

To move forward is to help others move forward too.

It's easy to enjoy, to be idle, to be stuck, and do nothing when you know that no one is looking up to you. BUT when you know that even one person is looking up to you, you will have no time to be idle, to be stuck, and do nothing. You have no choice but to make progress. 

That's why I am encouraging you to help at least one person at a time.

Luke 6:38 "Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back." 

You don't need to understand how it will return to you. You don't need to know when it will return, but remember that it will return full.

You're feeling stuck, help someone you know who is.

You're exhausted, help someone you know who is.

Maybe you will ask me, "How?"

Simple, you don't need to be okay to help someone.

JUST HELP.

Sometimes, the very words that you need to hear will only come out from your mouth when you try to help others. (PROVEN AND TESTED)

As you read this blog, maybe you have felt the spark to reach out to someone. 

You have felt the desire to bless others with the blessings you received. 

You have also realized the one thing you're looking for, for a long time.

You want to start it right away after you've read this.

But you don't know how.

My advice is to do #OnePersonAtATime.

Think of one person you know that you can help.

Someone that feels the same as you do.

Try to connect to that person.

Encourage him/her. 

You know that you're ready to move to another when that ONE person knows how to help other people.

I just imagine if all those people who will read this blog will accept the #OnePersonAtATime challenge. I know that we can make a difference.

I hope you've been blessed.

My prayer for writing this blog is to inspire.

If you felt inspired after reading this, I am asking you to share this to your wall or to someone that is so close to your heart.

Thank you!

Together, let's make a difference.
