As humans, being selfless is a way to pay it forward without the expectation of personal gains. The holiday season is amongst us and yes, consumerism is at its highest during this time, but the message of the season is very important for us all to remember. The idea of giving can be done in different ways and in different settings
- At work, I can help the new employee feel welcome by giving them the most important information to get acclimated to the job.
- At home, I can order a meal/cook for my spouse who worked overtime and is very tired.
- In the street, I can buy that person asking for spare change a hot meal from a restaurant nearby.
- In the street, I can support that local business instead of shopping at a large chain store.
- At work, I can buy my work bestie a cup of coffee when I pick up my own.
- At home, I can buy my child their favorite candy from the store on the way home.
Taking the time to think about others is not a skill everyone has unfortunately but it is never too late to adopt the lifestyle. Tis the season for creating a new mindset and realizing that if we all bring this energy to the universe now and into the new year there may be a little less drama in the world. Below you will find a few charitable organizations with a good cause to promote the message of what it means to be selfless.
