Theres noting wrong with not wrong to help others its just "normal".

Most leaders in this world say they are out to help outer hiding they have given up and pretending they foiling on helping others.

I see a lot of people viewing this thread and no allot of people posting. I invite you to be some thing more then "normal".

It all starts with one!!!

What can you do?

It dose not have to be big it could be feeding the nabbers cat when they are out of town ore saying Hi to the people you meet each day.

every thing makes a difference.

Personally, I help carry and prepare bags of food for family in need every tuesday(I have for the past ~4 years).  In my experiences, there is plenty you can do for those in need, with very little effort, but those in need also have to be willing to help themselves.  Not only do they have to realize they need help, but they also have to seek out that help.  there are some things we can do for those who don't seek out help, but generally speaking more people are actually helped if they first try to help themselves and look for those offering their time.

Our small food pantry which holds only enough food to fill up a closet and a couple freezers manages to help anywhere from 150-250 people a week.  And these are not all the same people either as we only allow them to come every 60-90 days(i forget what it is right now.)  Our facility is provided by our church, and food is donated from other members of our community, our county food bank, and sometimes when we run out of a specific type of food,(which happens alot on those 250+ days) our church will pay for food we buy from a grocery store.

All of this happens in only a matter of hours.  The worst feeling I get is when we have to turn people away when we have hit our time limit.  Unfortunately, if we were to just keep giving the food out, we wouldn't have enough for the next week. 



You may consider me the exception to the rule, but in my experience, there are alot more people willing to help than you know.  It may simply be my contact with Church going communities, but I believe those types of people make up a large portion of our country if not the majority of the country.  Sure not all of them are willing, or can help, but I believe that in most places if you ask for help almost any of those people would be willing to give it.

Thank you for your kindess and love!

So what missing is connecting what people wont, to giving it, people get understand you cant build a house on mude it sinks, but people dont get that are house are built on mude when the most desperate of there populations are left helpless.

If you ask any one if they would change the if they could they will almost always say yes, When they are told they can they say I cant, they are shown that they can, they say I cant.

Wanting some thing makes no difference. I want to be rich, and am I rich?, No.

As you pointed to in the start of your post:

In my experiences, there is plenty you can do for those in need, with very little effort, but those in need also have to be willing to help themselves.

We are out to fix people, make them wont! or to fill there current needs while not dealing with there long term needs.

most people People dont need to be fixed yet think they do. The thing is that they dont get is the only thing thats missing is geting they are hole complet and perfect just the way they are + wanting how they are and how they are not.

We feed peoples hunger but not there futures.

We need to have people feel alive. the way one dose this is not in the realm of knowing or fingering out. It in the realm of getting them to see that they and any one can do anything by taking away all the bullshit they creating about them selfes and geting to see when all is wiped away all there is to help others.

Here is a example of what i am pointing to:

You can here her talking about helping to create a documentary to show south Africa's struggle for freedom after she got freed up. I hear this over and over agin, different storys same problem: I wont to help but I cant, for her its that I cant have it all witch included making a difference even know she did not say that.

True, wanting to be rich does not make you rich; however, you can't become rich without wanting it first.  I can want something all day long, but its the wanting in addition to taking action that gets things done.  Sure some people can sit there and not want help and get help anyways, but i believe that to be the exception to the rule.  To get help you have to want help. Weather or not you go get help, you will not accept help without first wanting it.  If you don't want help, you won't get it.  that is all I mean.  I would certainly not say that you can get rich by simply wanting it to happen, but you will not get rich ubless you want it first.  Just like your title says: the only thing that comes between you, and what you want, is you.  In order to get something you have to want it first, and then you can think about how to get it, but a desire must come first.   :blush:

most people People dont need to be fixed yet think they do. The thing is that they dont get is the only thing thats missing is geting they are hole complet and perfect just the way they are + wanting how they are and how they are not.

That is a major problem we have too.  Some people that come in think they need, when they actually have more than most people there.  They come in with shiny new cars and smart phones and barely thank us for the free food we just gave them, and yet others are so humble they don't even want to accept it.  Many times we get people don't even have homes who come in, and we try to do our best to carry their food to a bus stop or as far as they will let us. 

However, we try not to judge and simply give to all who come regardless of weather or not we think they need.

It in the realm of getting them to see that they and any one can do anything by taking away all the bullshit they creating about them selfes and geting to see when all is wiped away all there is to help others.

That is something we try to cover and, though I don't wish to get into a religious debate, we try to witness to these people and give as much love as we can to them during our short contact with them.  We tell them about other opportunities for them to help themselves, and about our church.  We try very hard to help these people to help themselves, more then we help them to eat.  I think we even show them job opportunities, but I"m not positive. 

As the proverb goes: Give a man a fish, he eats for a day.  Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.

Good quote!

The one thing not said in the quote is the man need to see that its posable for him to fish. other wise you give him a fishing poll and he he puts it in storage and continues suffering.

  true, but I think that would be covered if you had an anywhere decent teacher.

posted on September 14th, 2011, 6:39 pm

There is some things not covered in the knowing of things.

As you can see in the Landmark clip I posted: the woman in it know she could have it all, did it let here have it all no. She need to see she is completely responsible for how thing happen around her: stop blaming people.

Lets say you did teach the man correctly: and the man is sitting by the water side with the poll blaming the fish for not bitting rather then getting that maybe he is fishing in a lake with no fish.

Theres some thing more then knowing stuff.

  true, but I think that would be covered if you had an anywhere decent teacher.

Very true,, and just because you teach someone doesn't mean they will learn.  You have to be willing to learn otherwise giving you knowledge is pointless.  Teachers can give students all the knowledge in the world, but it is up to them to learn from it.

And its not always a matter of wiliness. most offen the problem is geting to see things are posable.

Knowing and geting some thing very different.

You can tell some one how to ride a bike but until they ride a bike they likely will fall over. even the best teacher and the most egger student will be able to avoid this fate.

I didnt watch any of those videos because the title of the thread doesnt make sense and i have no idea what this thread is about but it looks like that crap that con artists try to sell people about self improvement .....for a price.

the only thing that comes between, You and what you wont is "you".

What?

Maybe you should just read the thread before posting.

I think there are allot of cons out there and there are things that are not. If you close your self off from what could hurt you will live a very simple life.

I was as careful as I could with this thread to try not to promote any one organization, the best clips I could find came from organizations.

I have had experience from different organizations if you wont my perspective I would be glad to share what I know send me a privet message.

As far as the selling, it cost money to do run thing.

I didnt watch any of those videos because the title of the thread doesnt make sense and i have no idea what this thread is about but it looks like that crap that con artists try to sell people about self improvement .....for a price.

I did make the title the way it is for a resign.

If some one can do anything, and there not and can see way its because, there geting thing clasped and confused.

a other way to say that is:

the only thing that comes between, You and what you wont is "you".

The confusion of the title I think can sparks intrest in the tread.

Maybe you should just read the thread before posting.
