Help Others - Live Longer
Being of service to others not only makes you feel good, it also helps you live longer. A recent study of the health effects of volunteering found that helping others on a regular basis can reduce early mortality rates by 22%! Being of assistance to others can greatly reduce depression and result in increased enjoyment of life and well being! The subjects in the study devoted only a minimum of one hour a month helping others so the benefits are produced without a whole lot of effort.
So, the next time you see someone on Wealthy Affiliate ask for help and you post a suggestion, you are not only helping them, you are helping yourself! Always be looking for ways of being helpful and who knows...you may be a modern day Methuselah! See you in the sun (on the lawn of the Old Folk's Home).
