Habituating Ourselves to Think of Others

Unfortunately, it takes awakening and awareness for people to start this process. Generally, people don’t wake up in the morning and think, “Whom can I help today? To whom can I say good word?” People are so busy with a million and one things... and when they have a moment, they want to learn a little bit.

But how special would it be if we could habituate ourselves to think of others. How much more avodas Hashem would it bring! How much Yiddishkeit would it build—both for yourself and for the recipient of your kindness! We cannot comprehend the greatness of this, because we have lost the sensitivity of pure goodness and kindness toward others.
