Creating Your Better Life Means Helping Others to Create Theirs

“It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson (source)

I can’t think of a better way to reboot this blog than to do my part in helping another create his better life, and to encourage my readers to do the same.

Derek, like me, recently failed to reach a goal he had set for himself.

But he’s doing exactly what we must do if our goals are important to us – he’s getting up and trying again – and trying something new.

I’m honored to be a part of it.

Please visit this post on Derek’s blog and do what you can to help.

Send him some cash. (Nothing is too small… the amount I sent is laughable, but every bit adds to the total.)

Tell your friends about it.

Blog about it.

Thank you, Derek, for inspiring me to continue to create my own better life.

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.” — Edward Everett Hale (source)

To share personal stories is a great inspiration to encourage others to make positive life changes.

@Liara… it really is. They make it so much more real than simple instructions.
