I’ll just give you a plethora of reasons why this is a MUST

  • Helping people has a ripple effect. If you help someone they will feel more obliged to help someone else, and so on.
  • You grow by giving and helping others. It can change you in ways you never expected.
  • Your relationship with that person will become stronger.
  • It’s the most fulfilling thing you can do on this planet. It not only feels amazing physically, you also feel like a good person.
  • You might be able to call in a favor later when you need some help.
  • Karma (if you believe in it).
  • Because there are more people in this world than just you.
