I am writing this post after I realized that as a google local guide we are not just helping the community by writing reviews and posting pictures but we are much more than that., we are actually creating a wonderful virtual ecosystem on accessibility , reach-ability and significance of every little place on earth that is actually helping lot of unknown people who we by chance have or will never even meet.
I read this quote somewhere and this instantly connects to the community that is contributing to Local guides "“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” . So may be we are ones that is paying the maximum rent on earth
if we little overthink on what we are doing , we would observe the following happening. whenever we mark a place Handicap accessible we made way for someone special . we mark a place with kids-meal , we are indirectly bringing some kids joy to come over with parents.A high chair marking is helping a mom , vegetarian options marking is giving an option to a vegan , marking open and close times , store closures is saving the most important thing in the world “Time” for everyone. Marking a place good for dating is helping a unknown boyfriend and his love
I teach my old friend at gym to take a look at these when he search for places to go.He did thank me a month later when he avoided a drive to a store that needed a membership which he dint have and he found out in the comment section from some local guide(one of you ) .
So let’s give a pat on our shoulder and keep contributing to make the beautiful mother earth a beautiful place to live . We aren’t just helping we are making earth a better place.!!! yay!!
