Altruistic Expression

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?
