5 Ways helping others Makes You Happy

Helping people in need can give you a sense of making someone happy, a sense of sharing and a sense of satisfaction. It could be anything from giving cookies to small children, helping someone pay for lunch, even if all you can give is your love and service to another human being, it will still enrich your spirit and still make others feel important and special. The hand of a giver, they say, is always on top.

See a few reasons to get into a habit of helping people on a daily basis;

1. Make others happy

You can make someone’s day by feeding them or simply by saying some kind words. When you give, you get a happy face and a beautiful smile. The joy you get from giving to others never fades away. It will remain in your heart and in your soul long after that day. This is amazing feeling that will make your day as well.

2. Boost your mood

Give a person in need generously or feed a hungry fellow today. Not only do you increase their mood, you boost your mood as well. There’s something wonderful about giving your love and affection to others, so don’t worry if you are short on money. Money will never fill your heart with a sense of joy and satisfaction, while giving will give you a sort of satisfaction that your soul craves. Helping your parents, friends or coworkers in the most difficult times will also satisfy your heart and bring a smile into your daily life.

3. Help you bond with other people

Helping others will help you make more friends and learn to find a way out when others can’t. Helping an old woman cross the road or helping your coworker cope with some life problems will bond you with them. Unless you are an introvert who enjoys your own company, spending time with others will make your life brighter and happier.

4. Give you a sense of sharing

If you can’t share your money, home, joy, happiness with others, you are most likely selfish. Mothers always try to teach their children to share because they know that sharing will make their little ones selfless and that will play a great role in the community later in their life. Selfless people will never feel that they have lost something in life and this will make them really happy.

5. Improve your confidence level

Give your confidence a boost by helping those in need. You get the confidence of knowing that you have the power to help others out and to make them feel special. You will feel that you have enough to share with others whether its your cash, kind word, care etc. Spend one day a week or a month volunteering at an orphanage around you, to feel that others need you. No matter how busy your schedule is, it’s possible to fit volunteering into your monthly schedule.

Doing good things for others is an easy way to increase happiness and find a purpose in life. It does not have to be money, your actions speak louder than your words.
