"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
Mindful Giving, as I discussed in yesterday's blog, can provide you with profound spiritual benefits.
To get the most out of giving become a fan of your causes. I encourage you to find a charity, or two, that resonates with you and stick with it. The following was taken from a Huffington Post article, and it explains perfectly how being loyal in your giving can help you derive the most benefits. "Build connections between yourself and the cause by spending time on its website, exploring links, perhaps advocating on its behalf, participating in its events (walks, runs, biking, etc.), and maybe even eventually volunteering. Or, simply contribute financially, but root for your charity to “win” — and you’ll experience far more emotional pleasure when your charity shares with you the good news of victories earned with your help, and personal involvement when you’re informed of challenges still to be met"
For me, my causes are very personal.
The American Heart Association, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and the American Cancer Society.
What are your causes?
