In my experience, the answer to this is fairly simple. Go DO something nice for someone else and expect nothing in return. Although you and I know you will get something in return as sort of a trickle down effect. Call someone important to you that you haven't spoken with in some time, check in w/ Grandma or Grandpa, ask how they're doing, and WANT to know the answer. I was dragged to the mall once by my wife, I was just having an 'off' day, grouchy, etc. So after I bitched I had to be at the mall rather than doing nothing at home, I held the door open for this older lady coming in behind us. Her smile and thanks were genuine and infectious. So, I said to my wife, "I'll be here for awhile." I stood there and held the door open for people for an hour. I got several smiles and thank you's, yada yada. I felt great afterwards. But I had to GO & GET that spiritual spark, it rarely falls in my lap. Take spiritual action.
this is cool.
