There is at least one cause that most people are fanatics
about. Some terrible tragedy is going on somewhere in the
world that makes your heart sink. Perhaps, you're not
passionate about helping people at all. Maybe, your
passions lie in the environment or the other animals who
inhabit this planet.
You don't have to be Bill Gates or Richard Branson to be
able to give back to the community, support your favorite
causes or make a difference for the planet. You can donate
your time, resources or talent to support charities or give
back to the community.
Lots of charities need manpower to accomplish their goals.
FEMA needed tons of manpower to help people get out of
flood damaged areas during the Katrina hurricane in New
Orleans. The American Red Cross often sees its manpower
resources stretched to the limits when it responds to
natural disasters and war-torn countries all over the
world. If you don't have the money, you can donate your
time. A non-profit animal shelter could use someone to
help feed, wash, and monitor pets. Habitat for humanity
could always use extra hands to build shelters and homes
for the homeless. Time is a precious commodity. Donate
some of yours.
Not many of us have resources like the world's richest men.
But you do have items in your home or your garage that
someone else could use. Just because your clothes have
been outdated for a season doesn't mean you should throw
them away. Dig out those boxes in your garage and take the
things you no longer use to a local shelter or a Salvation
Army. Someone else can benefit from your old things.
David Letterman often has "Stupid Human Tricks" as a
segment on his after hours show. Your talents just might
be useful to someone. Have you ever thought about
volunteering to do one of your "stupid human tricks" at a
children's hospital? Your silly talents just might make a
child laugh who really needs to laugh right now.
Find creative ways to donate and give back to the
community. Time, talents and any resources that you have
may not mean seem like much to you, but may make the world
of different for someone else.
In these economic times, many people are in need. Perhaps
you are thinking that you are one of them and have nothing
to give. However, one of the universal laws of the universe
is that you will receive back many times over what you give.
