Do something sincerely

Don’t expect anything in return for what you do for other people. If you expect something and the result is not what you expected then you will be disappointed. If you really want to help them, then help sincerely.

Sometimes after you help them, they can forget your help, maybe blame you for maybe the result makes them disappointed or maybe they just disappear. This often happens as if they only come to you when they need help.

I have also received the same treatment many times and I’d be lying if I wasn’t disappointed about it. I guess time changed me. I think the pattern will keep repeating itself and it just depends on how we want to live with it.

If I’m angry, then all of that will affect me, my emotions and my body. I became sick just because of my mind and anger. Over time I learned to let go and learned to accept that if I really want to help others, then help sincerely.

They are also human, have different emotions, different traits and the way they behave is of course different. Maybe when they act like that, it’s not because they want to, but they are used to it that way so that’s the way they know when they’re in a situation like that.

I changed my perspective, maybe if I help someone now, then someday, if I need help, someone will come to help me even though maybe that person is not the person I used to help. Maybe that person was a stranger who I never knew suddenly came to help me.

I’ve had several encounters with these kinds of situations and to be honest when that happen, I’m really touched. When I need help and I don’t know what to do and then someone comes to help me without expecting anything in return, it’s an amazing feeling, at least for me.

Like the movie Lion king, “circle of life”. What you sow is what you will reap. Maybe not right now then you will get the reward, maybe years later all the good things you did, come back to you when you really need it.
