Create a Universal Shift When You Help Others

While most of us are not an Oprah, Richard Branson, Bill and Melinda Gates, or Warren Buffet, to name just a few of the world's philantropists, each and every one of you have the ability to create a universal shift in consciousness which moves the world and all in it when you help another human being.

It does not require tons of money. In fact, it does not require money at all. Give of your time – pay forward what someone else gave you – give your spare change – gift someone with a smile – hug someone who needs it – ask someone how they are today – tell someone close that you love them – apologise for hurtful words – and most importantly folks, forgive, forgive, forgive and let go.

You change the world when you release painful burdens. You are not doing it for anyone, you are doing it for yourself. Heal what ails you and you positively impact the world – that is compassion!

What you give selflessly will be returned to you in kind an some other fashion. That is normal.

The selflessness that leads us to serve as a force for good in the lives of others eventually loops back around so that we come by all the support and aid we need during periods of upheaval. 

In order to make certain that this reciprocity can find purchase in our existence, we must embark upon our initial journeys of charity with nothing but altruistic intentions in our hearts. Like attracts like, which means that we create a universal shift when we help others, thereby drawing similar generosity into our spheres of influence. 

We may never see the repercussions of our actions in the lives of those we choose to help, but we will feel their impact in our day-to-day experiences for years to come. The noble mood that motivates you to take up a philanthropic cause today will have broad effects in your own existence. ~DailyOM
