A special kind of happiness can be found by fulfilling the wishes of others - it can be considered a way of paying it forward.

Helen Keller said:
"Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within.  It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy: it is that which we think and feel and do first for others then for ourselves"

Think about that as you go through this posting, because kindness and giving to others is about creating hope, visions and dreams of a future.  Our culture, at least the way I see it in western civilization is not so civilized anymore.  We have become a society of entitlement with a "me oriented focus".  It has become less and less about others with a more consistent approach on ME.

The truth is we don't seem to give enough anymore - no kindness - no compassion - no caring.  What kind of values do we have if we do not care for our fellow man.  If you want to be happy then practice a giving and caring compassion for others.  If you want to live life to the fullest instead of just 40 or 50 percent of your true potential
then offering gifts of kindness to another human being will create a sense of your true worth and value, which in turn acts as a fuel for the desires, dreams and visions of others.

Kindness and giving can be contagious and it will draw people towards you.  We live what we learn, and if we are not teaching the next generation to be better, to be considerate, to add value to others then this world of "entitlement and me only" will just worsen.

Consider this, with persistence and patience each individual on their own can do their part one person at a time to offer a gift of kindness and to teach others to do their part and within a short period of time we can be back to a world where we care and give to our fellow man for the betterment of all human kind.

WE can be the stuff that dreams are made of by offering to others so that we are the stuff of their dreams come true.  It is not about giving each of us our own pat on the back for doing small acts of giving and kindness.  It's about our generousity being strictly anonymous and pure with no desire or expectation of acknowledgement, reward or anything in return.

Remember the most successful and the most fulfilled are generally those people who care and show giving to others for the mere satisfaction in the happiness they bring others. 

Life has karma.............
