“Don’t chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people — the ones who really belong in your life — will come to you and stay.”

I have to agree with Will Smith one hundred percent. Sometimes people expect you to beg and come after them. They are already thinking you want something anyway. However, it won’t hurt anyone to give somebody a little push or a helping hand to get you started. It doesn’t hurt to give a little advice. Then you can do the rest on your own. For some reason, the world thinks you are suppose to be hard and help no one, and the world is not always right. That is not the way God intended for this world to be. People think they are not suppose to share knowledge and help each other. Where did they get that kind of thinking from? Yet, they want somebody to reach out and help them.

Matt. 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

When you reach out and help someone, you will get the same blessing somewhere down the line in return. However, you have to let some people go on about their way. You can’t help everyone, and the ones that are looking for help, they sometimes need to do the same. They need to go on about their way and depend on no one but the one above. He will send the right people to you, and will help you get your foot into the door. Put your trust and faith in no man. There are some people that you don’t need in your life. Keep doing what you do. You should work hard and keep the faith. There is an old saying that good will come to those who wait. Those are the kind of disciples that Jesus chose. They had to work hard catching fish, and Jesus made them fishers of men. (Matt. 4:19).
