Selfless actions.

[Lathe Crasher]

When was the last time you did something purley to help others? Something that was kind beyond return value?

I'm sitting here kicking stuff around in my head and for me it was the Christmas gifts for Dale's kids. And I guess that stupid bike for the crazy guy who walks backwards. I feel like it's been too long I've only looked out for self. It's like I fell in the "me first" trap. Ever feel that way?

Yeah the last 18 years being a father lol, but im retared in the anti selfish direction. i think American cultures is sick in the head. Degenerate selfish consumerism people walk around with no purpose.
But I fix things so I routinely help people fix their house fix their car fix the computer and ask for nothing in return. I also get asked to move quite a bit. Lol

Not much effort in this one but I felt for her.....

My wife and I went out to eat this past Valentine's Day. We didn't go anywhere special and we didn't feel like fighting any crowds and waiting an hour for a table. This was kinda last minute. There is a very small family owned local ice cream parlor that we frequent once in awhile. They serve my wife's favorite sundae. We were able to get seated right away and it's a good thing we got there when we did.....tables filled up fafavorite.

At about this time we noticed that the parlor was very under staffed. Our server was extremely busy trying to attend and take orders of all her patrons and could see that she was getting frustrated. My wife and I were finally able to place our order and it was nothing complicated. As time passes we started to notice that people who were seated after us were getting served their meals. Where I was seated I was angled where I could see a little bit in the kitchen. I noticed several times when our server would go pick up food her body language was very obvious that she was angry with the cooks and she would do a double take in our direction with a defined discouraged look. At one time I, and I think the entire restaurant heard her yell "they have waiting forever '!!!

After her rant she beelined to our table and began sincere apologies and I could see that she was holding back emotion. She then began saying that she would apply half off to our bill. I said to her "not to worry and said please don't".

Our food finally arrived and told her "we are fine until dessert" impling not to worry about us. My wife and I watched as she worked her A$$ off. My wife got her favorite sundae and I got a single scoop of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough...my fav.

We finished our dessert and she as requested did not discount our bill. Again with sincere apologies. Our meals and desserts totaled about 30bux. I told my wife "she earned this tonight" and rounded up the bill to the nearest $100.00.

today, yesterday...
Always look for ways to help people.
Even the smallest things help. Opening the door for a stranger, saying hi, paying for someone's drink at the gas station, tipping well, talking to the staff, asking UPS guy how he's doing.
The most insignificant gestures sometimes have the biggest impact.

There was this black lady blocking the isle at Walmart. Had my 2 boys with me. She was giving me this nasty look. Like ugh. White boys here. Guess I gotta move my cart. Once I got the look I was like. Hey how ya doing.. oh I'm fine she says. Reaches for a case of water that was on a higher shelf. Asked if she needed a hand with those. Everything changed. Oh no no I'm good I got it thanks.let me move this cart so u can get thru. Nah I says. Take your time were good..
It wasn't much. But just that one stupid gesture of hi and im.not rushing u. Changed her whole tone. Every time I passed her in the store after that. We got pleasant smiles.

Some people avoid kindness. And it rarley costs ya a thing. I was just being my friendly self.
I'd rather no interaction than fake kindness. But when it's genuine. It's worth more than most imagine.

This happens to me as well. She says she feels "bad". I just give her a little peck kiss on the forehead and tell her "we'll get it done next time".

Every single day brother.

Sometimes it feels like I need a “just for me” day.

But…. I enjoy helping others, always have. I could do more for sure.

Can you imagine what society would be like if everyone had this mentality.

 

[Milford King]

I’m running late for work, I gotta stop at the gas station and grab a coffee or whatever… dude in front of me is having a hard time getting his card to work and time is just ticking ticking into the future….I start getting anxiety cuz I absolutely hate being late for anything…

Finally I’m like hey I’ll foot the bill if you let me check out and get outta here.

This counts too right?

Small town USA is still like this believe it or not. It’s got it’s cons, but for the most part the smaller the town the nicer everyone is to eachother. It might be the chances of crossing paths again is exponentially higher in a small town but if it works, it works.

This right here is what will stand out in your life review more the big things you think would be more important. Your kind gesture may have caused that lady to be kind to another person, and the ripple effect may have touched thousands of people’s lives in a positive way.
Good on you, Brotha!
This is ‘The Way’!

new wrestling coach opened up a gym and needed help so i stepped up.

i probably spend an ungodly amount of time helping him coach kids wrestling just for fun.

i dont do too much but be there with the kids and keep them on track working the techniques and keep an eye on them when sparring to keep them safe, and outta the bigger kids way.

I do get some added benefits of learning new things i can apply to my own grappling and spending alot of time with my son and daughter so not ENTIRELY selfless i guess.

but i help all the little ones as much as I can and i really enjoy wrestling around with the kiddos.

The way I see it, the better all the kids get, the better my kids will get. so win win. its very time consuming but its enjoyable.

I do stuff like that a lot. I just feel and believe that of you can help someone (and its help, not enabling) then you should.
When I do it here its a mixed bag, I get thanked privately, and bashed publically.

 

[Hammer&Bell]

People say "doing the right thing" is never easy. It is. Its the consequences of doing the right thing for people who don't appreciate it that can be difficult.

Do good things anyway.

I’m saying thanks, I know you mean well. Sometimes your delivery comes in a little hot. But the message is obviously from the heart.

Man you guys rock. So many good men here, I genuinely love u guys

And I'm proud to be a member w u guys. This is such a legit family.

I got a book "The habit of grateful". It's from a medium I use named Karen. Her daughter wrote the book.

I read this and the Bible daily. I pray 3 times a day. On my knees against my bed, like Daniel. I tell the Lord what I'm thankful for.

I used to complain about all that I don't have but I learned to be thankful for what I do have. I also praise God in my prayers. My life has changed so much guys. I can't tell you, how much love I feel. How much I care about other people. I want to be generous and take care of others. In return God has given me so much, financially and spiritually.

I want to be just like my father in heaven. Full of purity and goodness and love. Optimism and hope.

What we think and say absolutely affects our lives. Cut out drugs, alcohol, porn and any other vice. Make God your focal point. Thank him for all you have. He will speak to you in various ways. You will know the holy Spirit is within you and your family.

I feel better giving then I do receiving now. Not sexual I know someone's gonna get my chops lol . But I genuinely can tell u God has changed my life. I'm a better person...some of you can tell. I'm less involved in arguing and drama.

I help people w money ,meds and food. I do not ever need nor want thanks, or a pat on the back. I don't want attention. I just love putting a smile on people's faces or bringing tears to their eyes with a solution. It gives me purpose. Means the world to me.

This is a cool thread and I urge anyone reading this to try it. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Pay it forward at a restaurant.

Little things all add up. And do it with a genuine heart. God will reward you. God our father in heaven is immaculate...once you encounter the Holy Spirit in your life, you can never doubt it again. And you guys will blossom wherever you are planted. So many ASF members are angels in a tank top and cargo shorts Lol.

I'm in 8 court cases but i have truth and God on my side. With karma from all I have helped others, no way God is letting me fall to satans lies.

I have no fear nor worries going into all of this.

Selfless acts can make one feel amazing.

Try it!

I try to discuss things practically and stay on topic, I notice that when a non-personal, topic related point is proven... thats when people want to get personal... which isn't pretty, but its fine, if thats where they take it, then I'll go there too.
