Give, and you shall receive (:

..."money cannot buy happiness..."

That phrase looks familiar, doesn't it? I use to agree with that phrase and think that money is not everything and money definitely cannot buy happiness. But a bulb just ignited in my mind few minutes ago; money CAN indeed buy happiness! Think of it this way, if you are really rich and have so much money, you use your money to provide for the poor and needy or you donate it, it still makes you happy! Hence, money can really buy happiness. 

Well, it is not necessary for you to be rich to be able to provide for the poor. You don't have to donate a million dollars. Just cook something, bring it to an old folks' home or children home and spend some time there. Trust me, it will make you happier as a person and makes your life much more worth living. Even if you have only so much to give, give all that you can because what you will receive means much more than what you have now. 

Lets rewind to two weeks back; I was in the MRT on the way back from Jurong East and normally, youngsters/young adults would not give up their seats for the elderly and pregnant women. But, I realised there are still considerate and kind people around. More to that, the persons who gave up their seats were guys. Even though both of them were not really good looking, I was attracted to their kindness. Not only once did they give up their seat, but a few times and I literally smiled at them. Oh mind me, they're just the real gentlemen to me. They did not expect the girls to give up their seats as well. Honestly, its very hard to find kind souls nowadays. Everybody is waiting for somebody else to do something when in the end, EVERYBODY will just stare and do nothing. Does it hurt to make the first move in helping someone? Will it take away a part of your body or will you lose something? I don't think so. 

Help whenever you can, do a good deed everyday. Its nothing too difficult to do. You just have to give up your seat, give way to others or just saying 'thank you' is good enough.

" Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands—all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you.” Luke 6:38
