You’ve done this, I’m sure, but do you do it often enough? It’s always nice to do something that results in a person feeling good, in fact usually you feel good as well don’t you.

Now, you don’t actually make anyone feel anything, which is up to him or her, but you can contribute to how they feel by doing something they appreciate or enjoy. One of our deepest human desires is to feel good so everyone is open to any assistance with doing this. And I’m sure you are aware of how it is so easy for people to focus on the negative, everyone can use some assistance placing their attention on what makes them happy.

What does it take to assist someone to feel happy? First you want to discover what they would appreciate, which requires a bit of attention to the other person. Do you take the time to notice what others would appreciate or enjoy? It really doesn’t take much effort, but rather some attention. With our busy lives it can take some purposeful effort to notice what others would like and do something about it but it’s worth it.

What you do for others comes back to you in some way, so there is some secondary motivation behind your kindness to others. It doesn’t hurt to remember that you get more of what you think about in your life.

What can you do to help someone feel better and feel good about it yourself as well? Can you make a positive comment, praise or compliment? Who can you do this for? The people close to you as well as peopl  you just have casual contact with. You never know up front how even something small can lift a person’s day. Or how a small compliment can boost someone’s self esteem. The thing to remember, no one receives too much of what leads to happiness, so you can ‘t over do it.

Make it a part of your daily life to be aware of other people and what you can do to entice their happiness. Start out with the intention to help just one person to feel happy. And don’t forget how you will be increasing the time you are happy as well, as just thinking about it increases your happiness.
