Factors Facilitating Generosity In Your Life

By Martha Murphy


In the world we live in today, the gap between the rich and the poor is growing by the day. This is not a good thing as the rich will always be given priority over the poor. Thanks to the many charitable organizations in play, the gap may actually reduce. The overly wealthy have the chance to uplift those who are not as lucky. The article discusses ways of facilitating generosity in your life.

To many, when they hear generous, they always feel that the benefits are one-sided. This is actually not the case. As much as generosity is giving and expecting nothing in return, there are some benefits. People who donate appear happier and healthier compared to every other person. This is mainly because they can change the society in their own little way.

You will never be able to give for as long as you look at what you do not have in your life. This means that gratitude should be a part of you. As long as you can appreciate what you have, you will be able to help others where they lack. If you, however, choose to concentrate on the things you do not have you will work on getting them other than helping those who completely lack.

If it is the first time you are donating, and you are not sure about it, you may give as little as you can. Maybe a dollar. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can start with whatever amount your lowest is. If you still are uncomfortable, you may donate online to the charitable organizations via credit cards and this way you will never have to cross paths with the involved parties.

We always make plans to spend money before we even receive the paycheck. Next time as you make the list of what you need to spend money on, include the donation. This will not help you in planning, but you will never miss the chance to help out. If you give it before spending money on anything else, you will hardly notice that you gave it away.

Another way to raise donation money is like diverting one expense. This basically means not spending money on something once in a while. For example, if you are used to taking your car to work every day, you may choose to leave it at home every Wednesday. You may then commute on your bicycle. You will have saved your fuel money. If you carry on this way for the next month or so, you will have saved so much for the donation.

If you are not sure on what organization to give to, do not worry. Find the one person you trust or even admire. Observe them for a while. What organizations they are involved with and how often they give. You can do this alongside them. You may also ask them to recommend another organization or help you pick one out.

Another option is to spend time with a generous person. This will give you an inside scope of their life. You can make inquiries like how they came about being generous. The answers may actually inspire you to be as generous as they are.
