I am one of the fervent believers that we're all here for a reason. And above all, we all have one common 'reason to be'. Funny that how 'we' includes here people from all walks of life, religions, ethnicités, races and income. 'We' here refers to humankind as a whole.
I recently gave myself a challenge. I made it my job to help or make someone's day every day. That means each day, I help someone I know or just someone whom I come across to. For no reason.
I can either render a service or help with some money or phone them or surprise them with a present.
With this 'every day' habit, I feel less selfish and less about me and my family but opening up to others. It does bring some sort of satisfaction and makes you feel here for reason : helping the ones in need. Yes, I am willing to help but who helps me? you're going to tell me. Sometimes I ask myself the same question, but I tell myself that I should be grateful that I am able to help and that I have physical, mental and financial ability to do so. Also, I do believe in karma :)
With that said, I am far from being perfect. I am working on myself to improve a 'no judgment' spirit as to whom I give to. A lot of times, I find myself judging the mendiants by the way they dress or how they speak and abstain myself from giving them some coins. I know that mendicity has begun to be a lucrative profession. However, helping should be free from judgments.
While I am working on myself, I'd like to hear from you. In what way do you help people around you?
See you soon.
