Being selfless is the act of being concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own.
In our society today, the word selfless means nothing to people, all everyone cares about now is their self and nothing more. The will to help and do good no longer exist, only few are willing to care and help people these days.
You don't need a reason to help, it's something that comes from the heart, it's something that has to be done willingly and not by force. A candle loses nothing by lighting another, you loose nothing by helping people, you loose nothing by caring for others, you loose nothing by being selfless but rather you're giving life and hope to a soul out there.
You might feel helping one person won't change the world but it could change the world for that person. Try to help people in need, do the little you can, it will go a long way. Being selfless doesn't necessarily mean you have to give material things, that's one mistake people make. If you can't help financially, help emotionally, physically or spiritually.
Few words of encouragement, words of wisdom and words of advice can change a person's life forever. You could be saving a life just by using the word "don't give up", "be strong". Your little donation to a foundation or an orphanage will keep a child alive, helping an old or crippled person cross the road will make them smile, things that you call little might mean a lot to someone else.
So when next you see someone in need, don't hesitate to help in the little way you can.
