Quote: “If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.” ~Buddha
Ever notice how helping someone else often ends up helping you, too?
Maybe you offered a friend advice you really needed to hear yourself. Or introduced someone to a contact and ended up with a new opportunity down the line. It’s funny how giving just a little light to someone else can make your own path feel brighter.
That’s the quiet magic of kindness.
It’s not just about being nice, it’s about connection. When you support someone else, you shift your focus outward, and somehow, your own worries don’t feel so overwhelming.
You remember you’re not alone. That we’re all figuring it out as we go.
And no, this isn’t about expecting something in return. It’s about realizing that lifting others up creates momentum. Energy. Possibility. You never know what will come back around.
So if you’re feeling stuck, try this: be the light for someone else. Send that encouraging text. Share what you’ve learned.
Offer a hand, even if yours feels shaky.
Because every time you light someone else’s lamp, you might just find your own way a little brighter too.
