A Relay of Joy: Gifts That Fill the Heart

Hello, this is Maru.

Through my experience of changing from being super negative, I share the secrets to living comfortably and how to find your true self.

Recently, I realized that
leaving comments
can make me feel happy.

When I read replies to my comments,
I often feel encouraged
and my heart feels warmed.

I feel happy,
I feel grateful,
and I, the one who left the comment, feel happy myself.

Something similar
happened when I gave gifts
to people I care about.

When I give a birthday present
and the recipient is happy,
I, the giver, feel happy too.

And when a thank-you message arrives,
it makes me feel even happier.

I think grandparents are so indulgent with their grandchildren
because seeing their grandchildren's happy faces
makes them feel happy
themselves.

If you can make someone else happy,
it seems that joy returns to you.

Also, when you cheer for someone,
you, the one cheering, feel energized.

When I support my favorite athletes or
teams,
I have sometimes gone to the venue to cheer them on.

The venue or stadium is filled with amazing cheers, but
when I listen to the voices cheering,
for some reason, I feel energized myself.

In post-game interviews, athletes say,

"Your cheers gave me strength!"

I hear those words of gratitude, but

"I'm the one who got energy!"
"Now I can do my best tomorrow too!"

I would go home having received power in return.

When you cheer for someone, you are cheered on yourself,
and energy returns to you.

What you put out
comes back to you.

It's mysterious, isn't it?

Sometimes I think,
"I wonder if something good will happen," or

"I wonder if there's anything fun to do," but
at times like that,
it might be good to make the people around you happy.

When you offer your feelings,
the same feelings return to you,
so your heart becomes filled.

It's a truly wonderful cycle.

It's a shortcut to feeling happy!

Thank you
for reading until the end.
