RE: Life Is About Giving. II, Contributed by @Olawalium
It has been my experience that when you’re focused on giving to others you’re less likely to become consumed by your own concerns and challenges. Giving provides an opportunity to look beyond our own world and see the bigger picture.
A great perspective can be achieved by stepping out of our own world and venturing into the world of other people. Your worries and challenges may not seem as significant when compared to other people’s situations.
The act of giving kindles self-esteem and brings happiness.
After several years of soul searching, I discovered that my unhappiness was due to my want for things to fill the void of loneliness.
This is lovely. Even in helping others we can find our own happiness. Sometimes after we have helped another person, that is when we receive the breakthrough for ours. Our breakthrough can sometimes be tied to this same person we have chosen to help. Maybe all that person needed to unlock his or her next level is what we have been able to give and that lifts them enough to help us with our next level too. Life is that intertwined sometimes.
Thanks a lot as usual.
