Doing good deeds for someone else, rather than doing something for yourself. 

I’ve been feeling pretty shitty for the past couple of days, so today I decided that I was going to rent some dvd’s, buy some chips and chocolate, and stay in bed all day. I went out and rented my selection of dvd’s, including Footloose (which without Kevin Bacon is an abomination as far as I’m concerned) and then someone close to me told me some news about a sad thing that has happened to them recently. I felt horrible that something so cruel and devastating could happen to one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, so with that I walked to Coles and brought a bunch of Singapore Orchids for this person and told them that I just hoped that these flowers could brighten up their day. Seeing the smile on their face was enough to make my shitty mood disappear and make me smile in turn. I left without my chips or chocolate and my savings account has decreased a little since, but it doesn’t matter. I did something good for someone who deserved it, and in turn it made me feel good too.
