What’s the Best Kind of Gift?
The Ancient Egyptians had the concept of the Afterlife. They believed that upon death, your soul was weighed against a feather and if it was lighter, you would be allowed into the Afterlife. In addition, there were two questions asked of you…
Did you bring joy? Did you find joy?
Think about this. When you do the first one, you automatically complete the second one.
When you bring joy to others, you bring joy to yourself.
After all, joy isn’t joy unless it’s shared. Trust me, you will be happier and will live a longer life when you give to others.
Giving is good for you as well as the person to whom you are giving. It’s a win-win situation, a no brainer. Science has proven that giving to another will.

Over the last decade, scientific studies at the nation’s top universities prove once and for all the benefits of kindness, caring and compassion are life-enhancing. Dr. Steven Post, author of Why Good Things Happen to Good People states that “Science shows that we’re hardwired to be giving. We’re talking here about a one-a-day vitamin for the soul.”
You should feel blessed that you are in a position that allows you to give. There are so many people who don’t have this opportunity. What a beautiful thought! Now, get out and create change in the world!
