Giving Back
Doing business.
Doing good.
Philanthropy is one of my big “WHY’s”…why I do what I do, why I run my sacred crystal biz the way that I do, it’s a huge motivator for me & for all of us here at HMCA. I feel business can & should be a force for good in the world. May the force be with you!
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”
~Anthony Robbins
This world is a wonderful place if you just train yourself to see all the good that people do… every day. And I try to find ways to be 1 of those people each day.
“…a reverent businessman or businesswoman is a person who infuses a new energy into the archetype of entrepreneur, shifting it from a dynamic that is motivated by profits that are generated by serving others to a dynamic of serving others that is made possible by profits.” ~ author Gary Zukav, The Seat of the Soul
As a little challenge to you, I hope you read this page & decide to take action on something. There’s always ONE THING you can do…and it doesn’t have to be $$. Even if it’s simply spreading the word…that’s a BIG ACTION. It’s not turning & looking away & pretending you didn’t see or saying to yourself…”I’ve got my own schist to worry about.” It’s an action that counts, BABY!
There are so many benefits to giving…for both the receiver & the giver. I won’t list them all here but just know…
I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
~Maya Angelou
I know not everyone is in a position to give monetarily, but that ain’t the only way to give, you know. You can also give of your time by volunteering your time, talent or knowledge or by sharing information with others, (to Facebook, Twitter, email, a letter, etc.) helping to create awareness. Or go through your stuffs at home & de-clutter. You probably have some really great things that can be donated to charity wishlists, the local Goodwill or other similar organizations!
Life’s persistent and most urgent question is ‘What are you doing for others?’
~Martin Luther King Jr.
