Practice the act of giving.
Not everyone love to give to others. many people find it difficult to give to others because of many reasons known to them. Some believed that it will be foolish to give out to people something they've strived hard to earn, to give freely to others. Popular afrobeats singer wizkid sang in one of his song lyrics, "**nobody wanna give, everybody wanna take....**". This is to show that people like to accept or collect things without giving out. Most people don't like to be owned. Considering the society we live in, obviously fingers are not equal and there is a wide gap between the rich and the poor. Some live in much affluence and glory while some find it hard to eat; the rich and the poor. Many people depends and survive on the benevolence of others. Although the concept of morality may differs and relative among many people, yet giving has never been in a way a bad act. You help others when you give out to the needy, it's a noble act in itself. When we give out to people, we help ourselves to maintain a positive mental health. Giving triggers a lot of happiness, emotions and feelings within us, we see others in need and we help them satisfy their needs out of our own little resources. Some people have been revered as **"great men and women"** not because of their academic prowess or intelligence but as a result of their benevolence, they learn to give to others in need. Consider the great deeds of people like Bill Gates, Mother Teresa. etc who devoted their resources and wealth to better the lot of humanity at large. Giving to people is an act and it's a spirit not many people possess. Many believed that they can only give when they have so much but that's a wrong conception. We should strive to give even out of the little we have, after all the little might mean everything to someone. Seeing others we have helped one way or the other help us release a lot of tension and makes us feel less burdensome. Looking at its from religion or spiritual perspective too, helping others has always been a good act to followed in almost every faith. There is also this popular belief that **"givers never lack".** Blessing others will make us have more. Cultivating the habit of giving may not be easy from the start but it's worth it. It's not only through giving money that you get to help those in need, instead look out for the need of people around you and help them in your own capacity. Some people need food to eat while some may only need someone to love and care for them, it all boils down to one fact and that you are helping them. Helping others is noble and can reward us tremendously later in life. Life sometimes place us in an advantaged position today so as to help others when we can. Who knows if they will return the favor too someday . People probably don't realize that one good deed they do will always come back to them soon or later in another good way, same thing as a bad deed. Giving to help others can also improve our positive mental balance in terms of how we feel towards others. We feel better when we are able to give a helping hand to people in need. You don't have to become very rich before you give because sometimes the little matters to many people. We might not be able to cleanse all the dirt in the world but we can always contribute our own quota in making the world a better place as Michael Jackson affirmed. A person you helped today will help another person tomorrow and the cycle continues.
