Happy Essence Blog

Have you come across happy people who derive pleasure from helping others around them without expecting anything in return? Just the gesture of helping and benevolence is enough for these people to derive pleasure.

When was the last time you helped a complete stranger? I am sure you will have to think really hard to come up with that answer. Most of us never help a person unless we can get something in return from the person. You scratch my back, I scratch yours.

Just like a flower, which selflessly spreads its fragrance around, happy people are spreading their altruism without any strings attached. These happy people are dedicated to doing good for the sake of goodness, not just in expectation for what they can receive in return.

These happy people are the people who will cheerfully stop to help you change a flat tire but who will not accept any money for their work. Their reward was helping you and knowing that they did a good deed.

Happy people will share goodness with others in hope but not expectation they will receive it in return. Part of their personal mission is to try to make the world a happier, more helpful place. Happy people are the ones that restore our faith in humanity. It is because of them we introspect and realize that we can make this world a happier and better place to live in. There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.
