kindness pays

Yesterday exhaustion just hit me.  The whole day I was drained, just barely able to do anything, yet I managed to write an article and also had some phone meetings.  A guy has to do what a guy has to do....

I had a carer assessment to see if I'm capable of looking after Esther in her needs, so that I can receive a "carer's allowance", a bit of extra money that will help  with our living expenses.

I was talking to my mate the other day about aspects of life, and ended up talking about  how to be effective.  I told him to always help others and to look out for opportunities in life; to have a job that helps people, as kindness always pays, sometimes not at once, but years later we can be repaid for that kindness out of the blue.

I'll never forget how I helped someone and was a bit offended when they didn't really thank me. 

Years later I was in a bit of trouble at the airport as my passport was damaged.  I thought I would be sent back to my last destination, Germany, but  then the person that I had helped came along and recognised me.  He told the  immigration officials that I am Israeli and that they should let me in, so they did.

Life is all about helping and giving to others.  One of the questions in my carer assessment was:  "Do you have people you can call if you need?"   My answer was, of course I do, because everyone I have helped in the past will run to help me if I need.
