Let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier

This quote from Mother Teresa appears almost incongruous in our modern world, where almost everyone is running after something

Especially in huge cities: individuals cross each other in total indifference, nobody cares about anybody and beggars trigger more annoyance than kindness.

Yet one of the important factors to fulfillment is to halt just 5 minutes and think what you can do to help somehow another human being, who was certainly less lucky than us.

I am on Boracay island, where regional people don't want to get taned, because poor people do since they stay all day in the sun (note the paradox of the situation, western people want to get taned because only people who have the chance to go on sunny holidays get taned)

Many people would like to be given more love, affection and caring...
But most people don't give anything at all unless they are given first
If everyone gives consideration and caring, everybody will receive
But as almost nobody gives, then most people don't obtain anything
That's why in our contemporary world, even though we have all materialistic wealth, we lack of love and caring.
So the key thing to do is to give first, and whenever you can, just grab the opportunity to give.
Somehow it will spread around you.

On the picture above you can see two young children who were begging.
I was ordering a delicious Mango Fruit Shake, and rather than being indifferent, I was wondering how to give these two children some good time...
I offered them a Mango Fruit Shake, and you can watch how much pleasure they had:
1. by consciously savor the Fruit Shake
2. by unconsciously see a stranger who gave them attention and kindness
3. share this delicious moment together
For me, Life contented me in three ways:
1. Seing their huge smiles was awesome
2. I felt joyful with my gesture, and see the wonderful results on them
3. This simple action gives me the opportunity to like myself even more, which also makes it possible for others to love me

In this Christmas time, here's what you can do and it will give you great pleasure:
Gather all clothes you no longer use, and bring them back to life, by giving them to an community for poor people in your neighborhood.
This simple gesture will give you much more fulfillment, love and connection to life than all the presents you will receive for Christmas...
