Hey Scott and Jeff here with another great episode of how you can be happy. If
you ever thought about service? Huh. So we're going to be talking about right now.
Hey it's Scott and Jeff. Once again here to talk about how to be happy, happier, happiest
and some of the ways to do that. So the two of us are here standing in the
wind and the sun yeah out in front of what appears to be a thrift store and in
fact it is called Deseret Industries. And you can see we're just kind of here at
the donation drive through where people much like yourselves are coming through
and dropping off old clothes, books, shoes, motorcycle helmets, yeah.
Old television remotes, furniture, dollies, unwanted pets,
yes. Nasty, you can't do that no. But why do they do it? Well,
it's all because the service just makes you feel good right? Well then they get a
lot of extra clutter and yeah and it's a tax write-off we all know that. But
interestingly about happiness, is that the more you've stopped thinking about
yourself and think about others, the happier you actually become. Yeah hardest
thing for me is just getting to be unselfish with it, right? You know it's
like yeah but I just sat down to do this thing or I'm just right in front of the
bowl of Ben & Jerry's. You want me to go out and clean up someone's yard. That's
the hard part for me. Once I do it though I'm so happy I did it. The fact of the
matter is, is that really at the core of your own personal happiness and it's
this interesting phenomenon that occurs. It's very natural. We've all been there.
We've all seen it. We all do it. We've all felt it. We're just here to remind you
one quick way, what I would call a "quick upper" as it were, is to actually do
something for someone else. So serve it up. Now this could be, for
example in my own home, right? Something as simple as changing
the trash out for my wife without having her have to ask me. Anything at all
without her having to ask? Yeah. Is a great way to serve and people would
argue. Well, really it's not her job. It's not her place, it's your house too, we
agree. That's a given. We understand that we're just saying for guys like me and
Jeff, sometimes that really is a big deal to actually do something that they
didn't ask us to do. Absolutely. Yeah. You know and a lot of times people think
that okay, so I have to go out and do something. No, not necessarily. You can
just do it right? In the confines of your own home, your own neighborhood. We're not
talking about you know signing up for some expedition on Everest to clean up
trash. I mean that's why... Well that will be great. Yeah. So if you got the you know
resources to do that. But look inside of your own community, right? There's plenty
of opportunities. That's right. Volunteer opportunities are everywhere.
In fact, you can find them online. There's an app that you can get on your phone
that's called "Just Serve". That's right. That's right. I've got that on my
phone. So anywhere that you go in the world literally, it will find you
know GPS automatically, find my location or allow, what is that? Location services?
Yeah, yeah location services. Right and the app will tell you within a certain radius of
miles where you're at, all of the opportunities where you can serve. So what
we're talking about... Look, if you think a vacation is a lot of fun and it makes
you happy, it does, no question about it. Especially if you've really been working
really hard up till that vacation. But if you get on vacation for a
week to ten days and you find that your happiness even on the vacation is waning
a little bit, this is a perfect opportunity. Yeah. You could be on
vacation in Cleveland, Ohio which is the vacation capital of the world. Wooooh it's the first place
I always think of. You already been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 17 times.
Yeah. Well, pull up just serve and look and see geographically, the opportunities
that are there, right there in Cleveland for you to do some extra service of the
community and talk about having a fulfilling and fun
happy vacation. Absolutely. I mean what are your favorite ones? As we talked
about our top three, what are some of the ones that really stand out to you?
Visiting old people at convalescence I started doing that when I was a young
man 12,13 years old. When we weren't out stealing from people's homes and
cars, we were actually at an old folks home. Just visiting random old people.
They loved it and I loved it more than anything. Remember we're talking about
our first person happiness. The way it made me feel was incredible as a kid
that age I didn't know you could feel that from surface. That's my number
3. So gosh I'm thinking my number one, well number number 3 for me is
you know the shelters. Donating time to shelters, especially during
Thanksgiving. If you want to have a great family experience or even during
Christmas as well you go down to the local food shelter and your kids will
remember that experience for as long as they live. That's my number 2. Yeah.
Forget the toys for once, right? You know they're always going to be there but man
give them an experience outside of the walls your own home. Number 2 for me is
taking my kids down to two shelters on to Thanksgiving a few years ago and
having them put on the aprons and go in serving the homeless people at their
tables. Related to that, we also took a bunch of McDonald's gift certificates.
Spent $200-$300. Each of the kids wrote out a
Merry Christmas or a Happy Thanksgiving card and then we put these $20 gift
certificates in. We took it down to kind of the heart of the homeless part of
town and distributed those somewhat randomly. Although once the
people found out what we were doing, they were gone pretty quickly. Yeah. But that's
my number 2. Number 2 for me is pay for the person's groceries. That is
standing in front of you in that line. I mean that's a really cool thing.
And again, you're going to have to kind of have a little bit of intuition on this.
Well obviously, you're not going to do it every single time. If you want to,
fantastic. But sometimes, you know you're just going to get that feeling where this
person you... based on you know, maybe their their posture or their demeanor, you know
they need a hand. So, just pay for their stuff for them and you know it's just
it's an incredible thing. A variation on that I've heard of course people going
through the drive up windows at fast-food restaurants and saying, "what is
the person behind me owe? Yeah and paying it. Oh it's cool. It's already been taken care of and they
can't stop you, you're long gone, yet totally anonymous.
They can't call the cops, why would they? Number 1 for me
is Special Olympics. Nothing can compare with the spirit and the feeling of
spending 6-7 hours helping judge events, being timers at the end of the hundred
yard dash, measuring the jump and the shot put, the hugs, the love you get there
and you kind of feel a little weird because you don't know how to react. But
within 10 minutes, this spirit of service and of joy and happiness is so
unbelievably palpable that it will leave a mark on you for the rest of your life.
I mean it's my number 1 and I've done a lot of service
that makes me happy. Nothing made me shine with happiness more than being
with those kids and adults with Special Olympics. So the number one for me
happened on my LDS mission, Barcelona, Spain. We both went there. And me and
my companion we get done preaching at the end of the day. You know,
teaching and going out and talking to people and all that. And we noticed
outside of our fifth story window, there was a beggar going through the trash and
we kind of looked at each other said, "if we got any things that we can give". So
tell me you dropped food on him from... No, no, no, no. We had to you know, there were
no elevators in this building, right? So we had this dish of pesetas. You remember
pesetas, right? This is before euros right? These things are less than a penny
right? We had a bowl and said let's go give him. So we run down give it to
him and his whole countenance just brightened up. So we go back all the way
up to the top and we're just kind of sitting and looking at each other and
then you're like what else do we have? So we're grabbing you know, clothing that
we don't use anymore and other things and stuff. Yeah. We go running back down
because it felt so good and then he's like, wow this is just fantastic and I'm
telling you yeah sure we had success on our missions. You know talking to people
and teaching them about Christ and baptizing. But I'm telling you that
moment for me, was the pure gospel. That was just it. It was just so awesome. Isn't
that fun? Yeah. So if you're looking for ways to be happy
and maybe you're at a point where you're thinking... if you've typed into Google and
you've found us. You know how can I be happy now? Right? An instant upper. Forget
about yourself and just look for something to do for someone else. Whether
it's organizationally, whether it's a big you know global charity. It's some place
that you can give money or whatever. But perhaps even more immediate look in your
home for someone who's a little sad. Maybe is dejected or maybe just hasn't
cleaned their room in a week and so you're going to take it upon yourselves to
make their bed and shine their shoes and put their stuff away for them. Maybe with
a little note, "someone loves you" whatever. Not only is it great for them. It's great
for you and that's what we're talking about is making you happy. It's happening.
It's good about them. Yeah. They're just pawns. You use them to make yourself happy. It's
all about you baby. See that? Alright, see you next time.
If serving other people makes you feel good, then for heaven's sake go and do
it today and you can serve us of course by liking this video but that's not
important. That's neither here nor there. We just want you to be happy. So don't
like it. Don't share it. Don't comment. See if we care.
