Being in America, it can become easy to form that capitalistic mindset and always think about how you can generate money from your valuable skills, services, and ideas. That’s a good mindset to have at times because you do need to survive, but it’s not always about monetary gains.
For me, true success is about more than just monetary gains. It’s about using my platform and my gifts to help others, even if that means doing it for free. I feel the best when I help others and expect nothing in return. That’s when I know ( and they know) I am really being genuine.
I believe we all have something to give back. When you “give back”, most of the time that does not mean getting money out of the situation. It’s just about doing things out of the goodness of your heart. I’m more concerned in the impact that I can have on someone’s life than how much money I can make off that person.
So if you’re in a position to help others, don’t let the pursuit of money or personal gain hold you back or be the main goal. Take the time to give back to your community and make a difference in someone else’s life. Trust me, the rewards will be worth it.
