Muitas vezes pensamos que seremos mais felizes por realizar, receber ou obter. Nós também achamos que, para ser feliz, temos que receber amor. Pense novamente!
A pesquisa mostra que a nossa maior satisfação vem em grande parte de estar ligado aos outros e de ajudá-los.
Há verdade no ditado “É dando que se recebe.”
Compaixão traz significado e os pesquisadores descobriram que viver uma vida de significado é um dos maiores determinantes da felicidade. Não só a compaixão garante profundidade, realização e propósito em nossas vidas, mas os estudos mostram que ela também tem benefícios poderosos para a saúde e até mesmo leva a uma vida mais longa!
Para ajudar a mantê-lo inspirado, eu resumi a pesquisa sobre compaixão em um infográfico útil! Divirta-se!
