It really doesn’t matter what side of the track we grew up on, privileged economics or challenged; it is important to share with those less fortunate. If you were economically challenged and your childhood was filled
with a need for more, step up for those children suffering today. Why? Because you know what it feels like to be deprived.
I believe altruistic people are miracle workers. I love
the warm energy that fills the room from someone who authentically cares about
others. This sense of community is really contagious. If you are part of a
group of volunteers, you know how this energy empowers; it feels like the sun.
If you are part of a family that helps others, I’m sure
this gift of love is instilled within you; tap into it and make the world a better place.
Since I started volunteering in a shelter in my community and at a hospital, my life has been positively charged. I do not give a
lot of time to the hospital, but prioritizing a few hours a year lifts
my spirit. I wouldn’t trade this feeling for anything. I’ve never been a volunteer of the week, month, or year, and I’m sure my future doesn’t hold this recognition, but I’m good with this! My heart grows each and every time I devote any time to others in need. It's really sacred.
I hope my actions have instilled altruistic traits within my kids and will play a part in their world as they enter adulthood. This
would be a beautiful legacy to leave!
What are your thoughts; all for one or one for all?
