“What is the meaning of life? To be happy and useful.”—Dalai Lama
Being useful is what makes us happy. When we’re being useful, we feel good about ourselves. We get a feeling of satisfaction when we offer something that’s useful for another person. Being happy and useful is what makes life meaningful. We all want to contribute something so we can feel useful and that we’re making a difference in someone’s life. It makes us happy when someone tells us how much he or she appreciates our efforts. A simple thank you from another makes us feel appreciated and want to do more to help.
This I need to pay attention to. I try to say thank you a lot, but fear my poor memory makes me seem like I’m not paying attnetion to people sometimes.
