In the Bible Acts 20:35 quotes Jesus as saying “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. This idea is found in other religions and philosophies as well. Our initial response might be that it seems counterintuitive or fake, but when you truly embrace this mindset, you find yourself much happier.

A great purpose for our life is to make even one other life better. You will find happiness in this pursuit. It does not mean forsaking all things yourself, but rather the priority is upon giving to others. What can you give today with your actions?
