Helping Others Is Important for Good Self-esteem

If you look closely at most of the wealthy, political, or even Hollywood stars, most of them give back to their peers. There are several reasons for this. One is that it is a spiritual law that if you give to others, good will come back to you. As you begin to do this, you will be amazed at how your life will change. You don't have to do much. Just give a portion of your allowance (or paycheck if you are an adult) to a charity, church or someone you know needs help.

Another reason to help people is that it just makes you feel good! At Christmas, pick a Christmas tree angel and make a child happy. Give your old clothing to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. If you have an extra pencil at school, share it. When someone drops their books in the hallway, help them pick the books up. After doing this a few times, you will notice that you begin to feel better about yourself. Think about it for a few minutes. Do the people you like best have little regard for other people? Are they extremely selfish and self-centered? Probably not.
