Oh the fuzzies

I've been reading all the books lately and I noticed. Almost all of them refer to happiness as a purely self indulgant act. Not once in magazine or a book have I seen anything about helping other people. Even Tony Robbins focuses on helping yourself. What about the joy that comes from helping others? Angelina Jole does it. Why can't we?

Today I focused my day on helping my mom. She's been very sick lately and she hasn't been able to do this video for a contest for a potter wheel thats been very important to her. I could tel by the way she freaked out without even asking for my help. So, I went into the monster of a garage (her studio) filled with dirty boxes and cat litter and cleaned it out the best I could. I pushed past the headache and the kidney infection to help her. Cause she's my mom and what's important to her is important to me.

So, tomorrow or today try helping someone achieve just one goal. Even if it's tiny. I trust you, the look on their face when they reach it will make you smile.
