Buying Happiness :)

Don't get misled by this videos title, its not simply "buying happiness" as we buy some other thing from shop. It nicely shows the importance of using money to buy something for "someone else" which makes you happier than the instant happiness you get if you use the same to buy something to you (which will be mostly followed by more worry for sure). Though this talks about spending money on other, the same concept can be applied to  spent time, energy or anything that can do some to the other person. 
We tried few days making several food packets and giving them to people on street, just random people who seems to be begging money. Idea of giving food was that we could be sure they would eat it, than trying to sell it away or someone else would benefit if we just gave some money. The expression on their faces tell something more when they receive something they didn't expect, and that alone is enough you make your day. So the next time we did it, there were more energy in us to prepare those food packets, though I personally is not a fan doing those kind of routine work if it was for me to eat.

We can make ourselves happy if we can choose to take small steps, whenever we can in our own little ways, than waiting for that "one day in future" to do a big donation to a charity once we get "financially rich".
