Kevin Hines:
Be giving! Give your time and your energy to a cause outside of yourself. It is so important to give back. It gives us a sense of purpose, personality and the feeling I get when I have helped someone out is unparalleled. Plus, research shows that people who have volunteered for a cause have lower levels of depression than those who don't.
