Volunteering can take many forms such as helping at the local library, serving meals at a soup kitchen, or simply assisting an elderly person cross the street. However, what is important is the intent behind those efforts.  Is there a secondary motive or expectation behind those actions or is the act of kindness truly one of selfless service to others?  Learn how one individual reflects on how the intent behind such actions can increase one's joy and satisfaction from volunteering.
