“People who regularly help others are significantly happier and less likely to become depressed as they get older.”
Here’s a great list of quotes about helping others. We’re all in this life together. Whatever you’ve been through, millions of others have also been through. It’s when we make the effort to make the life of others a little bit better that the world can become a much better place. When all we do is care about ourselves and our own needs, where everyone is for themselves, that’s when humanity collapses.
You just never know how huge of a positive impact you can make on someone’s life when you decide to help others. You don’t have to do anything big, just offering help can sometimes mean the world to someone.
To start off, here’s a heart touching video about helping others in need and how it can change a life:
