Putting others first is always a good philosophy. It shows kindness and interest in your family, friends and co-workers.
But how long can you do it, before you feel like you are not appreciated?
It is natural to want people to recognize your efforts to do the right thing. When you try hard and you treat others well, it would be nice to be recognized for your effort. But you may not feel that you are being given any credit and like it or not, you may feel that being the “nice guy” gets you no-where fast.
Don’t be so quick to throw in the towel. Your kindness is being noticed by more people than you see. The seeds you sow with your good deeds lay a foundation that you may not see for a while. Don’t give up or give in. Putting others first teaches others to do the same. Kindness knows no limits. “Now let’s get going.” xo Sally
