Helping Others Find Their Own Happiness


Helping Others Find Their Own Happiness

They say happiness is an elusive thing. You do not exactly look for it or chase it. Being happy is on of the greatest emotions a human being can experience. It is an exhilarating feeling of being alive, an invigorating lift of the spirits. A laughter that elicits the joys of rejoicing. Sometimes, in our own true quest for happiness, one major factor gets overlooked. Happiness is even more meaningful and worthwhile when we help others find it as well. There is this inherent delight in knowing you helped others finding their own visions of happiness because the mere selfless act of helping creates joy.

It is like sharing your life with them as well. There are 3 major keys to help others find happiness. 1.) Motivate and inspire-You know the feeling when there is somebody that inspires, you whom you look up to you; likewise motivating you that you can be all that you ever want to be in your life. This is one of the best things a person can do for someone to help them attain happiness or bring back the joy that was once lost or forgotten to even just to smile a bit. Look for ways on how to motivate and encourage people.

There are times when even a simple act of a friendly hug, a warm smile, a pat on the back, a firm handshake or by just telling them of your trust and belief in them is enough to make them glad. 2.) Give yourself freely. Most saints like Mother Teresa are best paragons of giving selfless acts of kindness by giving freely of themselves. Although sometimes, it is difficult, but giving freely of yourself is a rewarding experience. One effortless way to do this is by participating or joining in an organization or support groups of any kind. These are remarkable because you do not have to worry or try to find out how to give freely of yourself.

All they need is your presence and you just have to do what it needs to b done. It shows another charitable side of you, when you give unconditionally and never asking for anything in return. You may have no idea what happiness you can bestow to someone by just being there, sharing stories, bringing laughter, or by merely volunteering even a couple of hours or more a month of your time. 3.) Be a classic living example of how it is done. The greatest and effective way to really help people find their own happiness is to live very happily yourself.

By doing so, you will naturally show people that yes, it is actually possible and capable to live a very happy and fulfilling life. They will emulate you and you become their epitome for happy living. You will be a classic inspiration to many. They will think that if it can happen to some, then it can happen to them also. Ultimately, since you already knew how well to do it and live by it, teaching other people in succeeding how to live a happy and meaningful life will be much more easier.
