Your Greatest Success In Life Lies In How You Are Prepared To Give

We can’t help everyone, but we can change our thinking and use our ‘slice of pie’ to help others.

It’s the stuff of nightmares, isn’t it!

You have selected presents for your children, and maybe your family, put them on lay-by for Christmas, and then the dreaded virus strikes, you lose your job, and your plans for paying for them off over time, are now in tatters.

It strikes a feeling of dread in your heart, doesn’t it!

You’ve never been out of work, and at the time, paying things off over time, didn’t seem like a gamble.

But now it does. Without an income, and with a debt you thought you’d planned for, you are at sea.

But bear in mind, no man is an island.

That same dread can be applied to many small businesses, and store owners as well, as they are the ones left holding the proverbial baby.

How must they be hurting?

But suddenly, for some at least, there is a Sanity Clause (my pseudonym, in this case, for somebody who can help, and does something about it, making others breathe more easily…bit like Santa really!).
