It's the golden rule, right? "Give unto others what you would have them give unto you."

What if someone asks for your help cooking dinner and you realize you're a great chef? Congrats, you have a new passion.

4. When you give you're more likely to be grateful

Giving to others puts you in the right mindset to appreciate what you already have.

Maybe this isn't as pleasant for everyone, but smiles are basically my favorite thing in the world.

8. Giving is very contagious

If someone sees you help the people in your life then they'll be more likely to help the people around them.

Even if it means giving up time that you could be using for something else.

Your help may be just what they need to make it through the day.
