It's a question we all end up asking ourselves sometimes, where do I fit in. What do I relate to and how do I get going through the day. I want to be someone who can push myself through the hardest of times through the helping of others. I think back on the times that I felt the best about myself and it's in the times that i've given to others not taken.
But I don't just mean giving in monetary ways. Giving feels good when you do it for the simple fact of a person needing a kind word, or planting a tree and feeling the earth we all live on appreciate your spirit. I find life in the ways that I can give back to others, greed is the simple killer of all our spirits I believe. When was the last time that you gave something to someone and it made you just feel better for the rest of the day? Why is that so?
I believe we are all connected in one accord we are all one, we have just moved so far from our roots and are planted from our youth in a system of personal gain ignoring the needs of others.
How much better would the world be if we all just stopped for a minute and found out how we can give to someone truly in need?
I believe this is the key to happiness and can be a true help in the face of depression. Please share any stories of how you felt after giving to someone or something that helped out.
