Last Mother’s Day, a friend submitted a story about her Mother to a website that was giving away tickets to a Carol Burnett show for the story with the most “likes”. She made an appeal on Facebook to click “like” on her story. One click was allowed per day; so I clicked day after day. When she won the tickets, I felt like I had won too.
In the past, I haven’t taken the time to do things like
this. Although it is easy to do—send a happy birthday wish on Facebook, email a
congratulations or endorse someone on LinkedIn—I don’t seem to do it very often.
These tiny tasks may not seem like much to me, but to the other person, it
means a lot.
My Accountability Partner sent an email that her book would
be available on Amazon's website and the more people that purchased it that particular
the day, the better the book rankings would be. And considering Amazon has
thousands and thousands of books, rankings are paramount to increased book
sales.When I bought the book it was exciting to see only two left in stock. Then the purchase form asked if I wanted to share it on Facebook. In the past, I would have said “Nobody has time for that”. To help her book achieve maximum results, I posted on my timeline that I had purchased it. So, in essence I was endorsing it to my audience. This was the gift . . . posting it to my timeline for my friends to possibly purchase. These small acts of kindness are all “gifts.”
Motivational speaker and author Les Brown said, “Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours.”
Ahhh . . . so the mirror that I am looking in reflects her
success back to me. I like that image.
In giving,Robin
