Jay Shetty says true fulfillment stems from creating value and being of service to others – and I firmly believe this as well. Denzel Washington explained it perfectly as he says, “The most selfish thing you can do in this world is to help someone else, because the gratification, the goodness that comes to you, the good feeling, the good feeling from helping others – nothing is better than that. Not jewelry, not the big house, not the cars, it’s the joy. That’s where the joy is – in helping others. That’s where the success is.” When you help others, you expose yourself to their suffering. This, in turn, minimizes your pain because it broadens your perspective by allowing you to appreciate what you do have, and so you’re immediately filled with gratitude.
