“Giving back is as good for you as it is for those you are helping, because giving gives you purpose. When you have a purpose-driven life, you’re a happier person.” — Goldie Hawn
Helping others is the secret to living a life that is not only happier but also healthier, wealthier, more productive, and meaningful.
Here are some tips to that will help you give!
- Give of your time. Whether that means we devote our lifetimes to service, or just give a few hours each day or a few days a year.
- Give to organizations. Giving to a cause has been proven to lead to more happiness.
- Give selflessly. Be willing to give more than you receive, but still keep your own interests and needs in sight.
- Give proactively. Chose where you want to give before someone ropes you into giving to something you don’t feel called to give to.
- Give without guilt. If we feel guilt-tripped into giving, chances are we will not be very committed over time to the cause.
The more we give, the more we gain purpose, meaning and happiness. All of these things are what we look for in life. They’re not so hard to find!
