Something inspirational:

When was the last time you helped someone out? It's a good thing to do because when we help others, we're thinking about and putting others people first and that helps us think about ourselves, living in the moment.

Helping someone else give us a different way to think. It means we're not so wrapped up in ourselves. Being kind shows others we care.  It allows us to help someone else who is in need of our help. Helping others, changes other's lives and that changes our life.

6 comments on “Helping others out”

  1. I am always helping others either through work or personally. To be honest I don't feel much of it is appreciated, as people seem so hard to please.

    Of course it's nice when your help is appreciated and that certainly makes you feel good about helping, but I've found that a genuine 'thank you' isn't forthcoming often enough these days and that just annoys the hell out of me.

    1. I totally understand your sentiments.

      You are lucky that you have the capacity to be able to help others. That is to be embraced regardless of what you get back. It would be nice but not always forthcoming.

  2. I help my friend out every other week. He has no car or licence so I take him shopping .

  3. I basically help a few people out when I work and I get rewarded by kind words of encouragement. It feels great when I help people.
