Blessings:

You know how we are told that when we give service or do nice things… good things happen, or we are given blessings. Perhaps when you do service to a fellow human being, one of those blessings is the pure Joy and Happiness you feel afterward. Because Happiness is something that is so wonderful and immeasurable that it cannot be completely explained on what it feels like. It is so great a feeling that even if the world is crashing down around you, that feeling… that Happiness can make it appear as though everything is balanced and at peace.

I think that the big secret of receiving blessings is not a just being rewarded later on, but how you feel right after you've done something selfless… that is what I believe to be a Blessing.
