Helping Others Keeps You Healthy
November 5th, 2008
We always think of natural health as affecting our physical body. But good health comes from deep inside you. In fact, the health benefits from helping other people and expecting nothing in return may just be the unsung hero of a healthy lifestyle. Those who do selfless service to others are often less stressed and more content with their lot in life. Instead of stressing over what they don’t have, they concentrate on sharing what they do have.
It is easy to help those we love and those who are close to us. The real measure of character is helping those we may not know, without judgment and without conditions. Simply giving, and feeling the appreciation from another human who may be worse off than us for various reasons, may well be the best feeling you ever get.
