Do a Kind Deed, and Tell No One!

“ Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.”

Do something nice for another and make a point not to tell anyone about your action. Most of the time, most of us frequently do nice things for others and sooner or later we are certain to tell someone about it. We do this seeking another approval, consciously or unconsciously.

We share this with others because their is instant gratification received having shared this kind deed with another. This make us feel like we are thoughtful and it confirms how nice we are and how deserving we are of kindness.

“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give!”

Yes, all acts of kindness are inherently wonderful, there is something even more gratifying and magical about doing something thoughtful but mentioning it to no one, ever. Everyone always feel good when they give to others. Instead of diminishing the positive feelings by telling another about your act of kindness, by keeping it a secret or to yourself, you get to retain all the positive feelings in a very special way.

Giving is the same as receiving. Yes, it’s true that you should give for the sake of giving, not to receive something in return. At some point, all of us maybe guilty of this reciprocal giving. The goal here is too give without expectations. When you mention your kind deed to another, is receiving just not from the same source. But when you don’t mention your kindness to others, your reward is the warm feeling that you experience from the act of giving. The very next time you give to another, keep it too yourself, and revel in the abundant joy of giving.

“Happiness doesn’t result from what we get, but from what we give!”
