KEEP YOU HELPLINES OPEN

One of the many advantages of having a social media account is getting involved in groups or forums. Usually we get into a group and be members of a community that share the same passion, hobbies, business or some consider it as a good source of help. May it be from cooking specialties, to gadget reviews, to school related talks and work generated discussions. The way I see it, a group or social media community becomes harmonious and productive if its members are open to be helplines.

BE KIND
There are members who will still ask questions even if the facts are already posted. There are a few who will always resort to posting inquiries and ask other members for answers that they should learn, study or research themselves. A few may see these types of people as lazy and sometimes they are discredited for asking. For me, there is always a better way of saying things even if the truth of your statement may hurt the other person. The basics of being kind makes way to a clearer conversation.

Examples: I think it is best if you look through Google for your inquiry or I think Google may have the best answer.

Always remember that others may go through a rough patch but still need to attend and finish a task and your open helpline may be the answer to the loss of their thoughts. There are obvious questions, but rather stating the point just rest it off and try to not respond instead. There are others who just need to vent and put it on the groups, a little breather for some or maybe they are just looking for somebody to talk to or share opinions with.

RESPOND and COMMENT
Be as responsive as you can. Give comments and suggestions to people who may be struggling. After all you may be saving that person tons of stress. What may appear easy for us might be too much of a cause for others. Our experiences are a great source of help for ideas for people who have not encountered such. Like a product reaction or a glitch on a specific gadget or somebody seeking for a product suggestion of a certain need. Us being responsive and being active in communicating gives off a lot in the community and says a lot about us as a person.

DO NOT BE RUDE
This is certainly unavoidable. But always remember it is better not to engage than getting yourself into trouble of giving too much emotion over things that can be agreed upon that are arguable. It is always better to choose the more positive response than to enter into a rude exchange. Lastly, if in case you cannot hold it anymore, just think of it as, it may not be deserving of your time since the person on the other end might be a stranger or you just can’t simply see him or her in person after all. Save yourself from the negativity.

KEEP YOUR LINES OPEN
It is not only that you maybe on the end who needs help. Keeping your helplines open simply makes a community good and its members grow further and everyone moves towards success and growth. We must always go back to our very reason for joining; to be educated, to get to know more about things, to share ideas and experiences, and to have a good source of support from people who share the same interest.

I see the next few years full of wins despite major setbacks and struggles. We will open a small eatery early 2021. I will venture into two more small businesses. We will have our own home in 3 years. With the recovery of the Earth from Covid19, we will travel and tick off different countries from my daughter’s destination wish list. With sheer determination, focus and hard work I know I can with dedication to my set timeline.

DRAW A TIMELINE. It is a must to have a timeline of set goals and dreams to look forward to, being the boss of our destiny. It is not just to plainly claim our rewards from the hard work but these dreams would simply serve as best inspiration to keep going and persevere more. This will help us in maintaining our pace as we work hard towards our goals, it is really important to carefully think of this timeline because nobody would know better what we need, what we want and what would make us happy and content. It is best if we keep our dreams ACHIEVABLE, this will do us away from what is impossible or extravagant aspirations that may cause burn outs than success. It is said to have big dreams, but it is also said that dreaming big entails social responsibility, personal capabilities and self respect. Certainly we need to have that extra push always, not only to be better but to be the best all the time. There is a thin line between dreaming and daydreaming. Make sure that apart from our dreams being big and achievable, that it is also LIVEABLE. List down personal aspirations, and consider the things that we can maintain along the way, not only that we want and need now but it has a long term effect in our lives and the holistic improvements that it will bring.. Liveable in such a way that we will still get to enjoy the improvements that achieving our dreams bring. DREAM BIG DREAMS. It is said that the best things in life are free, well for me dreaming is free but to make them into reality needs hard work and determination and a whole lot of pack of being a good person and the right attitude to reach success. KEEP YOUR FAITH and BOOST to the FULLEST. I cannot own everything without the Lord’s grace and guidance. I pray harder each time and I lift up to Him my worries. I learned to have a closer relationship with Him by having a personal time each day just raising my gratefulness.

How about you? What are your long term goals and where are you in your goal timeline?
