We Need To Do Something, We Simply Must Do Something!

There is a Chinese saying that goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” For centuries, the greatest thinkers have suggested the same thing: Happiness is found in helping others.

Giving back to your community through volunteer groups, non-profit organizations, charity or other means does so much to help those in need and contribute to the common good. You can give back in different ways, by giving money or giving your time. No matter how you do it, giving back to your community will touch many people’s lives. Whether it’s volunteering at a local event, helping a neighbor or making a monetary donation, it’s not the act that matters. Even the teeniest good deed can ignite change and positively impact the community by providing a renewed sense of hope.

Our passion should be the foundation for our giving. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving. It’s only natural that we will care about this and not so much about that, and that’s OK. It should not be simply a matter of choosing the right thing, but also a matter of choosing what is right for us.

For as long as I can remember, there was an idea rooted deep inside my mind. Mostly inspired by my father, it was that it doesn’t matter how tough you think your life is because there will always be someone in the world whose challenges and difficulties are far greater than yours. The trick to living a happy and content life while finding the best way to face your difficulties is by looking for people who are troubled, distressed, or in need and making an effort to help them out.

This is a huge part of The PYHOOYA Projects mission. As a family of 4 Nuts in a Shell, we are setting out on the open road to do just that: Help wherever we can, whenever we can, with whatever we can. We hope to see you out there!
