Being there for other people when they need you – no matter how inconvenient that happens to be – affords those who do it with certain benefits. First off, the good feelings that go along with helping someone for absolutely no personal gain. It’s also nice to know that others trust you enough to ask. It makes you feel good about just being you. Well, someone is about to say thank you – another perk, but one you’d never even considered.

Put yourself first. That’s going to be hard with everyone around you vying for your time and attention, but you’ll be glad that you set limits for yourself. It will actually make you more generous later.

Let your partner know how you feel this morning, whether it’s through a smooch or a cute text message to brighten their day. By this afternoon, you’ll probably be too busy to take time out.

Your ideas aren’t the only ones, nor are they the best. You can learn a lot just by listening today. What you hear will change not only your view but your bottom line.
