Pooja Bedi Instagram – Are you a do-gooder? With all the chaos, violence, injustice, stress, divisiveness, shocking reality of situation in #gaza or what #bilkisbano went throught, we often, sadly, hear people saying they have lost their faith in humanity. What I feel is even sadder is that they believe they don’t have the power to make a difference. we all do. No matter how big or small the situation. it’s so easy to help someone. It could be as simple as giving someone a tight hug, a shoulder to cry on, being the 3 am friend they know they can call if in distress, sharing positive and pro-active perspectives, speaking p against injustice, or even making time to spend with a lonely, perhaps old person. Some people help because they are asked, some people help because they feel obligated and for some it’s just a way of life. You can do it with irritation or with a happy heart. Your attitude determine your emotional reward Some people give money, some give their time & some lend their status/ power/ position/ voice to make a difference. It doesn’t matter which category you fall in. To be honest there is no superiority in how you help another. Any action that touches the life of another & empowers, enables, lights up and creates positive change, even in the tiniest manner, is an action that gives the beneficiary hope, faith, gratitude and strengthens their belief in life, the universe…. & humanity. Although all spiritual and self help books talk about giving without conditions, it’s a human expectation to receive some sort of acknowledgement, respect, reward, recognition, or even payback in some form. Gratitude may not come naturally to the recipient, but that should never stop you from being the best you can be. Do good, be good, experience good, share good, attract good, give good, live good. If you operate from a source of “inner happy” it’s magical how wonderful it feels to have the ability to help or the ripples of positive change you create by simply being you.❤️
