This is the first part of a series of Azim Jamal’s articles on benefits of giving. Read on:
It is only in the giving that we receive. If you
want happiness, give happiness. If you want wealth, give wealth. If you
want love, give love.
Giving enriches your life with meaning,
fulfillment, and happiness. It allows you to unleash your potential and
create breakthroughs. In fact, it is a privilege to give. So give of
your time, your knowledge, your wisdom, your wealth, your love, and
yourself, and experience the power of giving.
In this chapter we discuss the following:
What it means to give and have a sense of contributing.
Why contributing is important to Life Balance.
Strategies for embracing a sense of contributing in your daily life.
Give and Have a Sense of Contributing
You contribute not just by what you do but also by who you are.
“With our words we can only preach,” said St. Francis of Assisi. “In the end, it is our actions that teach.”
If you have sound character and display honesty,
integrity, humility, and discipline, you contribute to others by your
own example. Who you are and why and how you do things are just as
important as what you do. Thus, by aligning your actions with your
words, you become a person of influence and significance.
When you contribute and serve, you tap into your
genius and ignite your untapped potential. Most people live and die
leaving a huge portion of their potential untapped. This happens because
they do not discover their true gifts and therefore never discern their
callings in life.
