WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS

“we rise by lifting others” – is a famous quotation given by Robert Ingersoll. When you help others, your life starts to
have meaning and purpose. Real joy comes not from material possessions but by helping needy people.

I must say that you have probably guessed what I am writing about. Yes, it is about kindness. All of us are aware of
kindness. It can be anything we do to help others and do not expect anything in return. You don’t need special
arrangements to do kindness with others. “when you do for others you will not have to do anything for yourself.” This
quote suggests that we can elevate ourselves by lifting others up. This quote speaks to the power of helping others and
the positive impact, it can have on ourselves. It highlights the fact that our success and happiness are not dependent
solely on our own efforts, but on the collective efforts of those around us. When we help others to achieve their goals
and aspirations, we create a positive cycle of support and encouragement that can benefit everyone involved. Many
great leaders and social activists have dedicated their lives to helping others, and in doing so. They have created lasting
change that has improved the lives of countless individuals and communities. From Mahatama Gandhi to Martin Luther,
impact of those who have dedicated themselves to helping others has been unmeasurable. But it’s not just the great
leaders who can make a difference, every day, in our own lives, we have the opportunity to lift others up and can
contribute for the betterment of society.

Infact, helping others can also have a positive impact on our lives. When we help other, we often experience a sense of
satisfaction & fulfillment that can boost our own well-being & happiness. Helping others can also help us to develop
important skills like empathy, compassion, communication, which can benefit us in our personal and professional lives.
Ultimately, “we rise by lifting others” is a powerful reminder of the importance of community and the positive impact we
can have when we work together to help each other. Whether we are helping to build a better world or simply listening
someone’s day, every act of kindness & support can contribute to a more positive and connected world. By lifting others
up, we can all rise together……!
