The ability to help others is indeed a blessing. You have a built-in pleasure meter within, and it spikes when you connect with others.  You are naturally drawn to be of service, for connection is your true nature. Even the slightest instance of lending a hand or a smile fulfills this inner need that may go unrecognized until fulfilled.  Reach out, why don’t you.  Take the focus off yourself and see how that lifts your mood, turns things around, reconnects you to the flow of life. You are that flow, and you will realize this even more when you flow with another.  You are so very loved.
