The desire to help is to help remove the suffering of others and help them overcome obstacles, which can be extremely fulfilling. To cultivate this form of purpose, you must first learn to love others, understand that others have many of the same fears and desires, and understand that we all feel pain. When an individual does this, preventing suffering in others becomes just as important as preventing suffering in oneself. Secondly, you must begin doing small favors for others and pay attention to the difference you can make.
