Why Live Altruistically?

"When we help ourselves, we find moments of happiness. When we help others, we find lasting fulfillment."

~ Simon Sinek

Main Reason

Is to care and help others. That is the foundation of altruism and needs to be the foundation of living ALTRUISTICALLY. The other part is that we are giving while expecting nothing in return. While this does mean that we should never "expect" returns from those we help, it does not mean that we do not receive other benefits. Living ALTRUISTICALLY has many amazing benefits.

Studies show that practicing altruism

Enhances our well-being
Makes us happy
