So does that mean you now or previously wanted someone to help you? Or would of liked that at least? It all goes back to expecting absolutely nothing in return.

You are very insightful. I just wanted to add my two cents in too. I do agree with the first point but only if you are doing it for the right reasons. If you help someone in order to get recognition or to hide from your own problems then how is it really benefiting your life? Other thought I wanted to make is your point about anger. I don't think it is necessarily beneficial to say try to "not get angry". Anger is a normal human emotion which shouldn't be repressed just because it is not considered a "good" emotion. Everyone has the right to be angry at times. I think sometimes as kids we are taught that anger is not good and you shouldn't feel it instead of being taught how to deal with our anger which is more important lesson to me. I know for me, sometimes I have a hard time feeling that I have a right to be angry and instead I internalise my anger. I am finding that I am happier when I address the situation and my feelings in a healthy way so I can let my anger go. However, that is just my opinion and how I'm learning to handle things for me and my life. Everyone is different. :) I just found your site and just want to keep reading and reading.

I simply want to contribute or, more specifically, make a difference. I want to have positive impact. What worries me is that the motivation is out of vanity.

Doing the right thing at the right time on the right place will bring happenness into my life, sometimes doing nothing is not bad, at least I don't do anything bad. What you think is good, someone may think your action is bad, so do the right thing at the right time on the right place, and live with the natural law is my key to approach a meaningful life.

Yes, I'm one of the few people that will actually go out of his way to help others. Sadly, I cannot say it actually make my life any better or meaningful. I have always been there for anybody who needs help be it a shoulder, or a ear or even monetary but when I'm down, nobody seems to be near me. though, it helps if you think happiness come from the inner mind and soul not from others.
