Power of giving
March 26, 2008 8:57 pm
During college, I spent the majority of my spare time volunteering: soup kitches, convalescent homes, half-way children homes, homeless shelters, charity drives, park cleanups, battered women shelters, tutorting kids – you name it I helped out.
At some point I realized the true value of volunteering was not in what we did, but in the individual connection made with people. In the mind-set of giving, that is a subtle message that other people matter.
In a world where people are obsessed with pushing others out of the way to grab the most satisfying life, there is an incredible power in putting others ahead of your own achievement… and ironically, the joy of helping others may be what brings you the most satisfying life.

That is such a great attitude to have about volunteering, you will find that most people would rather have a meaningful connection if only for five minutes. Thanks for adding value to this world and take care.

Most of us usually know the power of giving, but we don’t follow it. We don’t like to give our things to other or buying something for others from our heart.
It was only when I started being of service and not expect anything in return, was when I realized what life is about. Lovin the blog!

This is so inspiring – and true! In my opinion, there is nothing more satisfying then helping someone. If only more people held the same attitude.

If you want to buy a car, you will have to get the business loans. Furthermore, my sister all the time utilizes a sba loan, which occurs to be really firm.
