Some people say that there is no such thing as a selfless act. Sometimes people believe that everything we do to help another person, we receive something in return. Sad but true! However, not all people do this just for their selfish intentions, but few do it to feel good about themselves and show that they care.
Not all people are good-hearted. Some people show concern for the simple fact of doing it. I don’t like that. They show that they care because they want to be recognized. I’m used to handling a load of responsibility. I take care of almost everyone without expecting anything in return. I give because I want to, not because I want something in return.
When you do a favor and expect it to be returned, you are doing business, not kindness. Simple things become complicated when you expect too much. The truth is that I like to help people. It makes me feel good to give. I’m not doing it to get anything back. I just believe that the more you give, the more you get. It is human nature to want to pay. But honestly, it’s because giving is a gift.
If you do, it will eventually come back to you, even when that is not your intention. And when it doesn’t, you get the satisfaction of helping someone, which is my experience. Although modesty aside, we all have bills to pay and many of us have mouths to feed, especially me being a single mother; but when it comes to helping, I’m very happy just doing it. I don’t feel stingy about it, the world has a way of rewarding such generosity.
You can’t help everyone. But helping someone because you care and don’t care about the results makes you feel satisfied. People are usually good by nature. They want to help other people whenever they can. Some will even go above and beyond to help someone in need if they have been deeply touched by the circumstances of the needy.
When you do good, you need to be sincere. You have to be honest with yourself. Never focus on anything about yourself at all. You put that person in need before you. Selfishness destroys the greatness of an action. You may not want money or other tangible benefits from your good deed, but you want recognition for what you’ve done and still expect something in return; which is not correct.
The reality is that it’s not about how big the favor was, it can be the smallest thing. You do things because you want to do them, not because of pressure or any kind. Every time you do something, no matter how small or unimportant it may seem, and you never think about what you will receive in return, the good deeds are magnified and come back to you when you least expect them.
