Helping others increases a sense of purpose, connection, and satisfaction, which can lead to happiness.”The beauty of service is that everyone can serve – absolutely everyone. It can be giving someone your time, energy, prayer, listening, a phone call, or a warm message. True service comes from the heart; in this selfless giving, you feel truly satisfied. Think back to a time when you volunteered, helped someone, or helped someone in need. The satisfaction you felt did not come from a position, a degree, or fame – it came from your human spirit, and that is all you need to feel satisfied, happy, and content.” says integrative lifestyle expert Luke Coutinho.
