Joy in Giving

Often, we remember the gratitude or ingratitude experienced through the process of giving, but the real source of pleasure is savoring the joy of giving. There is an inherent happiness we feel when we give. There is no reward we must seek out as we give, the giving is the reward. As Dale Carnegie once put it, "If we want to find happiness, let's stop thinking about gratitude or ingratitude and give for the inner joy of giving."
