An Altruistic Act - Do Good Feel Good Campaign

What is that one thing you cannot miss when you open the newspapers every morning, irrespective of which part the country you may be in? Deaths being caused by different strains of dengue as a particular blood type was not available to be given to the patient! Yes, with fatal fevers doing the rounds in India since the monsoons, there is much reason for anxiety. Blood infusion is the need of the hour and blood banks could more than do with some help from you. Answer the clarion call, donate blood and save lives. After all, it would give you an opportunity to be a demigod.


There is someone or the other, near you or a little distance away, in need of blood every two seconds. So if you are up for doing a good deed, here is your chance to go for it - donating blood is a phenomenal choice! Blood is precious and donations are needed almost each day, including normal days. Since blood is not a commodity that can be manufactured, the only way to meet this demand is by getting generous blood donors on board.

Besides being a great act of altruism, the benefits are numerous. Giving away blood helps rid one’s body of excess iron and this is one of the greatest medical benefits. High-sugar diet, emotional stress, high cholesterol and anxiety are all banes of modern day life and an integral part of us. Do you know what all these do to your blood? Well, it makes it thick, putting you at risk of suffering a blood clot. Yet, when you donate blood, it enables better flow of blood in your veins, thereby reducing the risk to your own life.

Every good act is rewarded and this one that is so noble a deed is no different. So, people who are ever keen to do so to help others often end up living longer than those who agree to it for more selfish reasons! It also wins you innumerable blessings which goes a long way in ensuring you live a better and richer life.

So, if you get a chance to donate blood, do not think twice. Just make sure you are associated with an accredited body that will see to your, as in the donor’s, own health and hygiene. You will feel good and happy once you help someone in need. To know more about donating blood and saving precious lives.

Make A Difference - Do Good Feel Good India

There is magic all around you, around us. No matter how insignificant a thing we do, there is likely to be some element of goodness in it provided it is a kind or benevolent act. To spot it, all you need to do is pause in your mad pursuit of your goal and try to put your finger on it. A certain degree of conscious effort is involved in this exercise. So what? Try doing it sometime, you will feel nice about it.

You see so much happening around you. Things that do down well with you or things that upset you or drive you nuts. Instead of letting them be as they are, have you ever thought of doing something to change it? In case you are one like me who has never lifted a finger to make a difference, there is a ray of hope - it is not too late. Yes, there is no time limit to doing something good. You can do it anytime you want to. You just need to be inspired.

You see garbage piled up on a side of the road or strewn around - obviously where it should not be. What is our usual reaction to such a scenario? We turn blind and man oeuvre our way such that we can walk by without stepping on it or letting the stench get to us. But that is hardly nice. We do it all the time but we are never happy about it. In fact there is this niggling feeling of guilt. How about doing something different? Like for instance picking up the trash and adding an element of beauty to
your surroundings.

Inspire yourself to do this and you will be surprised to see many others join you in this noble endeavor. There is no rule that says you cannot do it. So, do not worry about violating some accepted code of conduct. Do this bit for the environment that nurtures you and you are sure to find blessings somewhere.

Power of Goodness - Do Good Feel Good

We are all busy today – be it running after our dreams, ambitions or doing regular stuff. So much so that there is hardly any time to waste. In fact, the only time we get is spent catering to our own wishes and whims if not anything concrete. In Robert Frosts’ words: We have no time to stand and stare. Not a very happy scene, right? For if you are so hard-pressed for time, would you have any for others? Of course not. Result – you become an isolated being. Hardly a nice thing!

But you can change all this without taking too much trouble. Give a different direction to your life like those at Do Good Feel Good. Behind this unique movement that focuses on goodness is a team that believes in the worth of simple wisdom and taking some effort to learn new ways of applying kindness and benevolence in our complex lives to make things a little brighter, to add some sunshine to our own lives and that of others and in the process, thereby making this world we dwell in a way better place to live in. They live amongst us. Their life is not different from ours. Like

Yes, start off a chain of goodness much like planting a seed and nurture it such that the sky is the limit. Inspire your friends to follow in your footsteps and do the same.
