I have this belief that people want to be helpful. People are looking for opportunities to help.

It is a belief - there are no facts to support this belief. I am going by my personal experience.

Even when people don't want to help me, for whatever reason, including animosity, lack of understanding, greed, whatever, they want to be thought of as helpful - they want to think about themselves this way. If not me, there is someone out there they want to help, even if only for selfish reasons

I know, and I tell people, I always want to be helpful. I see opportunities to help others as blessings.

So, whenever I can, I help out.

The converse is that I am also not shy about asking for help when I need it. Give someone else the blessed opportunity to help me.

I think, on balance, I've received, in my life, more help than I've given. I'm grateful for that, and I'm actively trying to even things up.
