Never understood the reason why people could be so magnanimous and selfless. Then today I was struck right in the head with the answer.
It doesn't hurt to think of others first or help them. You wouldn't lose a piece of flesh from giving a bit of your time and energy. So what if you feel tired and scarificed your enjoyment time after it all, 'cause at the end of it all you'll feel good from being selfless and hopefully be appreciated. Even if not, it's not about receiving, it's about giving. I believe in karma, so it made sense to me.
Put others in front of yourself. Don't keep thinking "it doesn't benefit me, so I'm not bothered". I reflected upon my previous doings, my style of working, and I realised how selfish I was. I didn't back-stab, betray or do anything utterly despicable, but neither did I spend the extra effort to see if I could help others, especially when it was in my convenience. I felt so ashamed of myself. To say I was brought up to be competitive is just another excuse I gave myself. I don't want to be looked down upon, but it gives me no reason too. I'm a disgrace.
So here I resolve to change that. Constantly remind myself that there's a part of me I can give to others. And good karma will always return to those that deserve it.
