Give & Go

I have posted this comment to someone's blog on happiness. I thought it may be useful if I post it here as well. 

It is early morning here in the UK. It is freezing and also the last day of 2014 :).  For me, happiness means helping other people without receiving or expecting anything in return. Any kinds of help, just Give & Go, and make somebody else feels happy. It may sound weird as I am not a charity organisation but it is great to feel like that. I can tell you a bit about it. Helping is a great blessing. We may not realise how important it is until we are really in need to be helped out somehow. It is a huge blessing when you don't offer help to gain something in return. I have been applying this since I was a university student around 10 years ago. It has made me smile and feel great. You can feel it particularly when someone by accident one day tells you that your help was such a relief. You may not have thought about it! This kind of feeling has encouraged me to keep it up. You know, this is a kind of reward while I just said you do not need to expect anything in return. But an unexpected return. If you do so, you won't feel disappointed when one of your friends, colleagues or family members is not helping out in the same way like you did. Give & Go and remember: don't expect anyone to do the same to you. You may be paid back somehow and may not. I think everybody can plant this characteristics in herself/himself. I don't believe very much in what people may say these are natural. NO, it is a learning journey to be useful and good. Give & Go and never wait for rewards. I hope I have been able to express a bit of what I believe in.
