Consider the impact you want to have on the world, and the legacy you wish to leave when you are gone. Being charitable doesn’t have to cost a lot. It doesn’t have to cost anything at all, in fact. And it shouldn’t be a chore. It is simply how you choose to make a difference every day.
Decide what giving back looks like to you. It could mean volunteering at a charity, or mentoring and tutoring – or something simple as recycling, teaching a grandchild to ride a bike, or giving a meal to a homeless child.
Whether your contribution is large or small, whenever you make a difference in the life of someone else, you are giving back. You can enrich your own life by creating today what you want to be remembered for tomorrow. Give-back in a way that resonates with you.
Giving to others and our world is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and future generations.
