Be Happy by Making Other People Happy

The sowing and reaping principle states that if you sow goodness, do good to others, or give to others, you reap the seed of goodness that you sowed. The same principle goes like this: Do unto others what you would want others to do unto you. You want to be really happy? Then, why not try to make others happy? You can be creative, resourceful, and genuinely be yourself. You may want to avoid exasperating others. You may be more sensitive to know if someond needs a shoulder to cry on. It will not decrease you if you just listen and assure someone that hou're a friend who would understand. There are many ways you could make other people happy. Can you remember a situation wherein you can say that you really made someone very happy?

Hi, My wife has two students in tuition who are very poor but are willing to take education. So my wife teach them without charging any fees. But they also ready to help us in any problem. I help them in purchasing books, college fees etc. The boy is works for the whole day in construction work and at night in hotel. He is very honest. Once the supervisor gave him 25000 rupees for the workers payment. He made payments of 7000 and decided to pay remaining on next day. But unfortunately. the money was stolen from his pant and he was in big problem. I gave him 18000 rupees otherwise his reputation at the work would be damaged. I feel very happy by making him happy.

Thank you for sharing your experience at giving. Your story is such an encouragement. The people you and your wife helped might also do the same thing. When people around us receive kindness, they too will find a way to be kind also. If more people will practice kindness and generosity, the world becomes a better place to live in. If we live in a better world, we all become happier. Indeed, making others happy make us happier too.

We should share our blessings. Don't just count them. Give and share what you have. One of the best ways on how to make people happy is to let them feel that they are loved and cared for and you can do this by giving. This is not only good for the receiver, but for the giver as well. Giving is indeed a great source of happiness. It may not always mean giving material things, sharing your talents and skills to other people would surely help you learn how to make people happy.

You have a very good point, and by what you just shared, other people can be informed that money isn't always the most important thing to give. When we give of ourselves, our most precious time, our talents to a cause, anything that you've given from your heart believing that what you've just given will create genuine appreciation and happiness, you will be happier that you made other people happy by your sincere giving.
