Help Your People

Recently, a bill was passed to ban TikTok. If any one knows me, they know that I am an avid TikTok user and it’s easy to become engulfed in the app. TikTok has basically replaced Google, the news, and other social media platforms. If you want a new recipe, there are wonderful cooks on the app. If you’re traveling to a new city and want to know the best places to visit, it’s on there. Even if you are looking to date, someone will slide in your DM…or you can slide in theirs. It’s a fun app for sure, but more than that, it’s educational. Most have even gone to the extent to say TikTok has taught us more than school. I can somewhat agree and surely appreciate the information freely given by my fellow TikTok users.

I appreciate all of the information (and laughs) I get from TikTok. Most of us who are slightly addicted to it were once adamant about not getting on that kids app, and now look at us. It’s funny, but I can say it has taught me more than a few dances and cute sayings. It’s the fact that people take the time to inform you on important matters in a way that can help the masses. I heard a sermon that said it’s irresponsible to not give people knowledge when you know they need it. It’s the ones who aren’t just showing us dance routines, but breaking down scripture to be more understood. It’s the ones who give people insight to mental health awareness or the ones who try to share information about money management. The laughs are needed, but the information is outstanding and frankly the loss of the app seems almost detrimental.

I believe teaching and helping others is my gift. If I can help just one person, my living is not in vain. It comes down to the point of asking yourself if you are helpful to others or are you all about self. We all need help, but sometimes you have to be the helper. My church calls it being a destiny helper. I love that phrase because it’s sounds important. It is important to step outside of self and help people in need. That doesn’t mean you have to give all of your money or time, but if you do have some to spare it’s okay to share. This is a call for you all reading this to see how you can make a difference in someone else’s life. Be honest, when was the last time you helped someone? If it’s been a while, now seems like a great time to start. Be Sweet.
