Helping Others
From our earliest childhood, we have been taught that helping others is the key to a good life. However, it is not until we’re older that we start thinking about the meaning behind these words. What does helping others entail? What can we do? And how does it benefit our lives?
Fundamentally, humans are social creatures. Things like mutual aid and cooperation are written in our nature. By helping others, we build stronger connections with people and support the community we live in. It fills us with a sense of purpose and motivation. Moreover, it was scientifically proven that helping others lowers our stress and reduces negative emotions such as fear and anxiety.
You can start helping by donating to a charity organization. Giving, however, isn’t solely about money. You can offer so much more! Your time, your energy, your support, and your prayers – the resources at your disposal are endless! It is important to realize that even the smallest act of kindness can change someone’s life for the better. People around us struggle with many different issues every day. Volunteering, helping financially, offering a piece of advice, listening, or even providing a shoulder to cry on can truly make all the difference.
