Hack 188 – Give a Gift

Another way get some happiness is to perform a small act of kindness and give someone else a gift. Gifts can be anything. For example, you could buy someone’s coffee ahead of you in the coffee line. Just tell the cashier “That woman’s coffee is on me” and then smile at the person and tell her to have a great day. Or maybe you could pick some flowers from your garden and take them to a neighbor, or offer someone your seat on the bus. You’ll be surprised at how good you’ll feel after giving someone else a gift. The gift-giving experience can be a way to find deeper meaning in life. Think of gifts that do not cost any money: a smile for a stranger, holding a door open for someone, or helping someone put groceries in their car. In just a few minutes, you could give a gift for no reason at all that could have a profound impact on some- one else’s life.
