Serving others brings a sense of fulfillment from "summary" of The Book of Joy by Dalai Lama,Desmond Tutu

The idea that serving others brings a sense of fulfillment is a fundamental truth that has been recognized by many people throughout history. Both the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have spoken about the importance of compassion and altruism in finding joy and meaning in life. When we shift our focus away from ourselves and towards the well-being of others, we are able to transcend our own self-centered concerns and connect with something greater than ourselves. Serving others allows us to cultivate a sense of purpose and meaning that goes beyond our individual desires and ambitions. By helping others and making a positive impact on the world around us, we are able to experience a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that comes from knowing that we have contributed to the well-being of others. This sense of fulfillment is not dependent on external rewards or recognition, but is instead rooted in the intrinsic value of serving others selflessly. In serving others, we are able to tap into a source of joy that is more enduring and profound than the fleeting pleasures that come from pursuing our own selfish interests. When we make a conscious effort to prioritize the needs of others over our own, we are able to experience a sense of connection and unity with all beings. This sense of interconnectedness allows us to transcend our own ego and experience a deeper sense of fulfillment that comes from knowing that we are part of something larger and more meaningful than ourselves.
  1. Serving others is not just a moral duty or obligation, but is also a pathway to personal growth and self-realization. When we engage in acts of service and compassion, we are able to cultivate qualities such as empathy, kindness, and generosity that are essential for our own well-being and happiness. By making a conscious effort to serve others, we are able to align ourselves with the fundamental truth that our own happiness is intimately connected to the well-being of others.
