When I contribute, to whom am I giving? \u00a0When a person has the desire and inner strength to contribute his money or his time to a person or an organization, where does it come from? \u00a0Is it not because he is a part of the Divine and Creation itself? \u00a0The essence of the Creator is endless and unconditional giving – just as a parent feels for his child. \u00a0It is also the true essence of a person – his greatest ambition is to be a giver – that’s true bliss. \u00a0We do not become filled up with happiness and elation by buying a new piece of jewelry or when purchasing a new car. True, those do give us a good feeling, but it doesn’t last for long. \u00a0At some point, it becomes “old news”. \u00a0Satisfaction, and magnanimity come when a person feels that he made a difference in someone’s life, that in some way he helped in improving his life for the better. \u00a0Not always is the giving of monitory value, to the contrary: if you received the merit to make peace between friends who have become enemies, or make peace among family members who have become hostile to each other, you have done Holy work! \u00a0We actually don’t do anyone a favor when we give of ourselves, no matter what it is that we’re doing. \u00a0 If anything, we are doing ourselves a favor. \u00a0Instead of thinking about what is coming to me, because I did _______ \u00a0Think about loving yourself and others and say: I have been given the privilege to help out, to contribute from myself. \u00a0The universe has arranged for me to be faced with a chance to do good for someone, help him step up. \u00a0I have to give thanks and rejoice in the opportunity. \u00a0Because when I positively affect one person, it’s as if I changed the entire \u00a0world ~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
