Giving Back on Your Birthday and on every other day

There is no joy or taste in life or in anything that we have if we keep it all to ourselves. To know that you made someone’s life a little easier today and that you allowed him or her to breath and to go to bed with one less thing to worry about; this makes life and our existence so worth living. To serve others and to give back is almost like giving birth to a new self. To know that you might have saved another person’s life by only smiling to them, isn’t this one of the greatest mission?

I don’t know about you but I personally always feel so extremely happy when I give away anything to others. Be it a present or something that I no longer use or need. Be it food, money, clothes, books, toys, flowers or even a letter; it doesn’t really matter what, how big or how small it is, or how much it’s worth, but it is all about giving, helping others and sharing!

I came across this video on my friend’s wall on Facebook  (Thank you Asma O.) and I thought to myself, WHAT AN AMAZING IDEA! This is another inspirational video and story which I had to share with you. This is something that I myself will try it on my next birthday (inshaAllah) and it’s something that I absolutely want to teach my kids and to other kiddos around me.

By watching this video, you will understand what I mean.

Enjoy it and let us make our birthdays a special and unique day to give back and to celebrate kindness, humanity and to be thankful for everything we already have!

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by ‘I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.’ Hungry not only for bread — but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing — but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks — but homeless because of rejection.” ~ Mother Teresa

Walk in peace, :)

PS. Yes of course, you can make every day of the year as special as this one ;)
