Presumably we all give all the time. You may give time to your children, your friends, your church or to a host of multiple causes. Whatever you choose to give to, give to something that gets you fired up.

This comes from personal experience. Long ago, I thought I should join a well know organization that has a wonderful cause to support – as long as you believe in it. I didn’t really care that much. I was there for the wrong reason – to make contacts and to help in a capacity I thought they might need. But I was so wrong for that position.

Whatever cause I choose to support in a major way now, I have to believe in it and at least be able to get fired up about its purpose. That makes donating my time and my money a lot easier.

I do believe that giving wholeheartedly to a purpose will feed back rewards that were not contemplated with the gift. The more the gift is released without strings, the stronger the give back will be.

Yes, that can be a bit tough. I would like my name in lights (on occasion), I bask in appaluse as being the “generous guy,” but the more I can distance myself from these frivolities, the better I will be served in my life. And the more I can give.

Give – give it your all. Why not? This is your life, your candle to hold and share a light into the darkness and your blessing of who you are. Give at the office, give at home, dare to throw it out there and while you’re not paying attention, I believe your gifts will come soaring back to you.
