Hold Each Other Accountable

Proverbs 27:17 says “As iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another.”

Do you take into account the well being of those around you?

You should go out of your way to uplift and inspire someone today. Maybe your friend is having a down day. Maybe you can offer a word of encouragement to bring about a smile to them today.

I believe that as you endeavor to uplift someone else, you will find the favor returned. Being accountable for one another is one thing that can bring a sense of togetherness in your environment.

Wherever you go try to take into account those around you. Seek ways to enlighten and bring about a positive change to someone today. Share an encouraging story or an inspiring quote.

Tell a joke or make someone laugh today – or maybe you can simply go up to someone and ask if you can pray with them.

I heard someone say that you should be the change you want to see in the world. We hear so much about what’s going wrong in the world. But if we want to see positive change we must realize that it starts one person at a time.

Many places we go everyone is in it for themselves. Maybe you can be that person to let someone go ahead of you. Maybe you can lend a helping hand to someone in need today. Remember to be accountable for someone else today and notice the positive change it makes in your life as you charge forth on your journey of life!

Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

One can put a thousand to flight, two can put ten-thousand to flight. – Deuteronomy 32:30

Do you live by the “if you want it done right, do it yourself” creed? Sometimes you just have to look outside of yourself and welcome the opportunity of teamwork.

Whether venturing in a dynamic duo or joining in on a team effort, you should place a great sense of value on welcoming the assistance of others. I heard a wise man say, “Teamwork makes the dream work.” I totally agree.

In fact, a wise dream builder knows the importance of a joint collaboration. He knows that just like the scripture says that if two can put ten-thousand to flight, the dream is capable of becoming greater if three, four, or more come into play.

I encourage you today to think outside of the box. There are people all around you who together, you can all put infinite numbers to flight. You will be surprised at what you can accomplish together, if you just open yourself up to the possibilities.

Some of the greatest accomplishments known to man have been done in the form of a joint effort.

I think about a team of people building a house. There is much less strain on each individual when a crew of men are building the infrastructure than there is with just one or two people involved. The more people involved on the collaboration of an idea, the greater the vision and purpose.

The question we must ask ourselves is, why do we feel the need to do things by ourselves?

I think some people feel that they are putting others at a disadvantage or in an uncomfortable position, by asking for help. They think they are seen as strong willed and competent when they can take on a task all on their own.

You should shake this mentality. Don’t allow this mind-set to plant it’s deep root into your core thoughts. Allow yourself to accept the assistance of others.

If you are carrying a load and you’re offered a helping hand, be open to the support. Make a decision today to accept the aid and assistance of others and notice a tremendous weight lift off your shoulders, as you charge forth on your journey of life.
