Love & Service: A Path to Happiness

Thank you for joining us on Happiness Index, as we continue to deepen the conversation about service, our conversation today will focus on Love and Service: A Path to Happiness.  We are in the month of February, which is Black History month, and next Saturday will be Valentine’s Day.  We believe that love is the essence of who we are and is evidence of the overcoming spirit of Black people in the American culture.  If you want happiness in 2015, love and service is the path. You want a better community, then give of yourself.  One of the better-known benefits of serving is the impact on the community and the person who is being of service. People who volunteer are the glue that holds a community together.  The beautiful thing about service is that the person who gives of him or herself receives the benefit of giving.  "Giving and receiving are the same."  As we continue this topic of Service, we will be happy, because we will serve as we encourage you to serve.  The benefits of service:  1. Service connects you to others 2. It helps you to make new friends and contacts 3.  You gain new skills 4.  Be happy find someone and somewhere to serve.
