THE SIZE OF YOUR HEART that makes all the difference

What's on your mind?

Well Facebook funny you should ask.

A few days ago I met a truly inspirational individual. He came to my milkshake bar for a drink, I've never met him before and it was only 4 hours prior to messaging him for a drink that he accepted to pop over.

So he walked in with his Gucci cap with a bright orange tracksuit top and flip flops. We embraced as if we were brothers of old. We discussed work, Arab life and business ideas. I couldn't help but this how down to earth he was, how relaxed he made me feel and how happy I was to meet him. For the record I've never met a guy who could knock down 2 large milkshakes but Com knock them back like a boss and if he wasn't limited for time he could've drank a few more!

We had a good laugh and he went back to his hotel. The following morning he wrote a post about how wanted to give out a large amount of money to charity. I messaged him privately to say I knew someone (brother P) and would like him to meet him, in an instance Com responded and arranged to meet at the Intercontinental.

We arrived with my two kids and brother P at the hotel. Com got to hear his experiences first hand, how he use to live off eggs and sleep in a shipping container. Com only met him for 10 minutes but was ready to fix his finances and support him emotionally and spiritually.

Brother P was in tears. He was shocked at Com's generosity. Com discussed with him his plans and agreed to help him in anyway possible. We left the hotel and brother P had a spring in his step.

'How can a man I've only met for 15 minutes want to help me more than my family,' he asked. 'Well, that's just what great people do, they just keep helping those less fortunate', I replied.

I write this not to throw dust in my face but to show how such amazing charitable qualities still exist in people today.

I end with saying sometimes it's not all about the size of your beard or the shortness of your thobe but the size of your heart that makes all the difference. Brother Com Mirza has one heck of a heart.

May God bless his mother and bless those who have contributed to creating such a unique individual.

I will say this to my dying days, the more you give in charity the more you will see your wealth grow.

Ask the man with $500 million.
