Many a time, you come across a lot of people who are in dire need of one thing or the other, but you get stymied because you cannot meet the needs of these folks all at the same time.

However, there are certain benefits of rendering help to others.

1.  It fosters relationship between you and others.
2. It makes you feel good
3. It improves the lives of others, however little
4. It makes the world a suitable place to live in, and
5. If the kind gesture is reciprocated, it could have a multiplier effect.

A lot of us are confused on how to be of help to others. Look no further, the following would reduce your stress about this subject matter.

1. Wear a smile and be friendly: The Holy Writ has it that “a man who wants to have friends must show himself friendly” This is simple enough, there would be reasons to wear a moody and tough face, try to reflect on the people who look up to you. A warm smile can bring comfort to anyone you randomly come across.
2. Donate to charity what you do not use: Have you taken a good look at your closet to see that chunk of clothes and shoes you do not wear? I think it is time to give those things out to the less privileged.
3. Make donations: Making donations these days have been made easy. You do not need to make it formal or official, whenever you go to a malls, Cinemas and entertaining centres you would see donation boxes lying fallow, kindly drop any amount of your choice, this goes a long way.
4. Bend over to help: I believe it costs nothing to be of the slightest assistance to your neighbor who has a heavy load to lift, object to pick from the floor and the likes.
5. Teach: It is said that if you want what you have learned to stick to your memory, teach others. You can tutor your neighbors’ children or dabble into adult education without charging a penny. It goes a long way.
6. Pray for others: Many people do not know what this mean anymore. A little word of prayer for that fellow goes a long way.

Endeavor to show a little bit of love and kindness wherever you find yourself.
