“The happiness of one’s own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one’s happiness, the happiness of others.”
~ Paramahansa Yogananda
While on an intellectual level the notion of being independent and self-sufficient may seem admirable, the isolation these qualities bestow on the heart level is far from desirable.
At heart we are social creatures. Our need for connection with others is real and deep seated.
Ever noticed how the quickest and most effective way to make yourself feel better is to help make someone else feel better? Not so sure? Why not try it?
Oh, and please let the favor be returned in kind. Help make someone else’s day!
