Using Your Positivity by Helping Others
By:Mark R James

Have you ever considered how sports personalities, business moguls and entrepreneurs in general, accumulate their wealth and remain fired up to keep repeating this action every day?

The feeling you have when your goal is reached will make you forget about the hard work it took to get you there but this feeling does not last. If you continue setting more goals and working towards them, your purpose in life becomes greater. A goal-less man goes nowhere.

Do you often wonder why billionaires continue chasing money? The answer is power. Money is power and the more money you accumulate, the more powerful you become.

The average working man or woman would be happy with one million dollars but we read about business men worth billions of dollars because their goals are continually being achieved and they are always striving for more.

Some entrepreneurs could never spend all of the wealth that they have created so contributing to, or working for, a charity becomes their goal.

Many famous people and business men become patrons of prominent charities and occasionally it is publicised that proceeds from a certain venture will be donated to the charity of their choice. In fact, several very prominent sports and show business personalities have been honoured for what they have contributed to their particular charity.

Everybody's common denominator is children and a colleague of mine, whose son is currently in a children's hospital suffering from a brain tumour, often encounters sports stars, actors or actresses, when visiting the hospital. Occasions like this are never publicised in the media so for high profile people to donate their time and efforts in this way, is an exemplary reminder to us all.

To be able to do likewise would give you immense pleasure as you would be giving something back. For instance, imagine if you visited a hospital and spent time with a child suffering from leukemia, knowing that you had donated funds which might help a child in the research of a disease must be one of the greatest things you could ever do in life.

This is the ultimate achievement and to know that it is your positivity and determination that has enabled you to make a similar contribution to a charity of your choice, can only be truly worthwhile.

Mark has concentrated on this subject as in his childhood he was blighted by lack of self confidence and low self esteem and would like to share his experiences of how he has overcome these issues in the hope that it will help others conquer similar problems.
