Positivity, happiness, and hope

This morning I processed a few services for people we are helping through HCM Foundation. There were four of them. A medical bill, rent payment, electric bill, and gas bill. Here’s me dropping them in the mailbox:

Helping people through the foundation is always going to be a guiding purpose for my life because I can relate to what most of the families are going through. Being able to pay a bill or a prescription copay is huge. We’ve helped people prevent eviction, get medication they need that is not covered by insurance, and so much more.

But often times what people will thank us for is being there when they had no where else to turn. For caring enough to lend a helping hand in the first place.

Sometimes I think we are so busy or wrapped up in our own lives that it’s hard to recognize our impact on other people.

Never underestimate how much positivity, happiness, and hope a simple phone call, email, smile, or pep talk can bring to someone else. Our mark on this world is so much greater than we give ourselves credit for or can ever imagine.

The next person you talk with after reading this post, think about how much you are impacting them. Maybe you’re the person they need right now.
