When I help others, I am doubly blessed.
First, I know I am blessed to have something to give.
Second, when I give of myself, my blessings are returned many times over.
The investment of helping someone else yields returns at a much faster rate than self-absorption.
When I help others, in turn, they also help me when I am in need.
In the end, I have created a community of caring relationships.
These relationships are important for the health and fulfillment of every member of my community.
Communities are a symbol of humanity’s reality that no man is an island.
I know I cannot go though life without the help of others, and strive to help my fellow man.
I am rewarded when I see the smile in another person’s face because of something I have provided them.
It is a great joy to be able to light up another person’s eyes.
I feel a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment because I can go outside myself to meet another person’s needs.
I share in the joy that others experience when they receive help from me.
When I help others, I learn lessons in humility by considering others above myself.
Helping others reminds me that it is not all about me.
I learn gratitude by putting myself in the shoes of others and being thankful for what I have.
Gaining a clearer sense of purpose, a heart filled with gratitude, a humble attitude, and caring relationships in return for merely helping others seems to me like an excellent trade.
