Giving back is an important part of the enlightened path to knowing one’s true self and our connection to the rest of the planet. The question is how can you do it so that it makes a splash big enough to make a difference? The truth is every little bit helps, and you can give back in many ways – the most common are donating your time, your money, or helping to spread awareness for the cause.
The important thing to remember is that in order to be able to give your time or money – you need to get your own financial “junk” out of the way first in order to be able to give it away gladly and with an open heart. Sadly so many of us are so stressed about our own finances and future that we think we are never in a position to be able to make a huge difference.
Giving is an inspiring act that connects you to the true nature of our kind, and can be a life changing experience. Giving also opens the flood gates to what you are also able to then receive as well.
My suggestions are: 1) find a wealth creation vehicle that is not attached to your time, and that is residual, in order to free up both time and money and get your own issues dealt with and out of the way, 2) next choose a cause that is very meaningful to you and 3) donate your time, help spread awareness and donate money regularly towards your cause of choice.
The world’s problems are only as big as our own, so start with yourself first – lead by example. If everyone took this route the world would be a much better, happier and healthier place.
“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.” – Anthony Robbins
