Who helped you?
No one is coming to save you! Sorry to bust your bubble!
No government, no free rides, no easy way out!
Today is the day you realize it is up to you to make your path!
Wait Coach Lew, there was this person who helped (saved) me when I needed it the most!
Yes, there is always that person! Who was it for you? In the toughest time, the darkest hour, who helped you?
Did you ever thank them? Even if you didn’t say thank you but you took the help from someone and got off your butt and continued the growth you did thank them!
I will bet the person who helped you gave you a hand up not a handout!
What is the difference? A hand up gets someone to get out of their situation and go forward , a handout keeps them there!
For example, the homeless person on the corner. You give them a dollar they may go buy dope, alcohol, or ci******es whereas you give them a bottle of water, a meal or better opportunity to work for the day and see once again how much further they can go by working as opposed to begging spare change and you could literally help change the direction of their life.
Hand up is an opportunity and hand out only enables the same cycle of failure!
Would you rather get or give a hand up or a handout?
Pretty amazing how simply changing the meaning of similar actions can have a profound long-term effect!
