I tried volunteering for several times in my community. It seems a boring job without any benefits for me, however, I enjoyed it as I got so many unexpected rewards from it. First of all, I got to know my neighbors better, some of whom I have never seen or greeted in the past. Some of them offered the kids apricots they picked in the garden, some gave them candy, one uncle even offered to teach the kids table tennis for free. We had light chats and enjoyed the summer breeze, it was definitely one enjoyable experience.
I got to understand why people say giving is better than receiving. When you give something, you receive something equally valuable even though it may be invisible. You may get people’s thanks or compliment, and this can delight your heart. Also, when you help someone, it means you are strong enough and have extra energy to reach out your hand to help others.
When you help others, the positivity surrounds you and gives you more positive signs to keep going. This cannot be explained scientifically, but one can definitely feel the vibe.
Treat the people in your life nicely, and it is you that will be the the greatest beneficiary.
