The Power of Giving
Philanthropy is the effort or inclination to increase the well-being of humankind, as by charitable aid or donations.
Why is it important to give?
Whatever you send into the Universe comes back. Action — re-action are equal and opposite. G iving is immportannt for the state of man. Giving is in harmony with the natural cycle of life. You should make it a point when you’re successful to use your funds to help, build, and create something good in this world.
Effects of giving researched
“A researcher at the University of Oregon recently conducted a study on the brain effects of donating money to a cause. In the study, the researchers gave subjects $100 and watched their brain activity via FMRI as the subjects were shown their money being transferred from their account directly to a foodbank’s account. Then they did the same thing but allowed the subjects to choose how to spend their money.”
“In the automatic transfer of funds to the foodbank, pleasure areas of the brain (that are traditionally stimulated by food, sex, sweets, shelter and social connection) were significantly activated. In the second part of the study when the subject chose to donate the money, the effect was even greater.”
You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.

“I choose to rise up out of that storm and see that in moments of desperation, fear, and helplessness, each of us can be a rainbow of hope, doing what we can to extend ourselves in kindness and grace to one another. And I know for sure that there is no them.. there’s only us.”
