I went outside today and my driveway was completely covered in snow .. I knew I hand about 2 hours of shovelling ahead of me.
All of a sudden, my neighbour showed up with his snow blower! 15 minutes later my driveway was clean .. amazing.
A little later I went out to the store and I saw a few people stuck in their car. Now I ‘probably’ would have stopped anyway, but seeing as my neighbour helped me out, I most definitely stopped. After I helped pushing out the family, I felt great. A little rush from helping someone else up. I’d love to know if anyone has done any studies, but it would definitely seem like we’re hardwired to help other people out.
The Million Pound Miracle is based on this. You help yourself, you help a chairty and everyone spreads the feeling. Imagine if we leveraged this more in our everyday life.
Its contagious!
