Why Helping Others Can Make You Happy

Not all heroes wear capes. Plenty of heroes go about their charitable ways without expecting anything in return. But why are so many people keen on helping others? What’s in it for them?

This is what you’re going to find out in this article.

• Helping others give you a sense of purpose

Living your life without a sense of purpose is akin to you travelling without a destination in mind.

Sure, it may sound exciting at first, but sooner or later, you’ll eventually get tired of it all. You’ll start wondering what exactly you’re here on earth for.

Your purpose can be any number of things, but helping others is a good start. Why? Because you can see how many lives you’ve touched, how many people you’ve helped out.

There’s not a lot of requirements to start helping someone out.

You just need the heart, the willingness, and the patience, to share your time, skills and perhaps your money to get started.

• You feel good about yourself

When you help others, you’re also helping yourself and your self-esteem. You start feeling like you’re finally good for something in this life.

You quite literally feel like a million bucks. Your confidence rises, and you’ll make decisions you can live with, no more indecisiveness and second guessing yourself.

You'll finally able to enjoy and live your life the way you want to.

• Form meaningful relationships

When you help others, you instantly form a bond with them.

This is especially true in situations where your help can mean the difference between someone’s success or failure, or even life or death.

The people you help will feel indebted to you.

If you want your circle of positivity to grow, ask them to pay it forward by helping others out as well. Just be aware, however, that not everyone’s going to reciprocate.

Some people will want to continue leeching off of you. When that happens, cut ties with them and go help others who’ll be more appreciative.

• Helps you reflect on your blessings

When you’re out helping others, you’re able to take a look at yourself and your living situation from other people’s perspectives.

You’ll realize how lucky and fortunate you are to be in a position to help.

This realization will help you stay grounded and humble.

"You are a life Saver!!

I recently discovered this site and I can tell you that my life has not been the same. I now come here EVERYDAY and spend at least 1 hour.

I used to spend that time browsing online fashion and beauty magazine which just means that I spend more. Now I have replaced that habit with coming here.
