How often do you give gifts to loved ones just like that? Being a selfish person is, of course, very wonderful. To become happy yourself, you need to give a lot more.
Sometimes holidays, significant dates and other solemn events can serve as a kind of silent reproach - we give gifts and say good words only on these days. Such events give indulgence, a kind of forgiveness from all the inattention that we managed to give our loved ones.
The happiness of giving joy to other people, it would seem, has nothing to do with the joy for oneself. But this is only at first glance. Being a selfish person is, of course, very cool. But it's great if you give the best possible attention to your loved ones.
We can send everyone to hell, but we must give our loved ones the very best. And most importantly, we must do it regularly, not just on holidays.
Think about how many pleasant words we say to our loved ones during the day, how often do we please them, how often do we help them? And how often do you give them gifts just like that? The meaning of gifts is not in their price, but in the attention that we can give to a person in the middle of a noisy and busy day, thus giving him a little care and warmth, even if only for 10 minutes.
The meaning of such daily kind words and such signs of attention is that you show how much you love your loved ones. Harmonious relationships consist of attention and trifles, no matter how pathetic they may seem.
To become happy yourself, it is necessary, as paradoxical as it may sound, to give a lot more. And here we can give the most infinite that we have - attention and love.
• Highlight your sacred circle of loved ones. Anyone can enter there and your task is to narrow it down to the most important persons for you.
• Tell your parents, spouse, children, and family how you love them every day. The importance of these simple words is underestimated.
• Make your loved ones happy every week. It can be as simple as helping parents clean up, preparing dinner, helping a child with homework, just giving flowers or …
• Spend more time together, rather than at computers and gadgets.
• Remember that the happiness of those close to you is directly proportional to your happiness. The converse is also true.
