I've
been thinking, giving back without a purpose isn’t really giving back. Part of
giving back isn’t just the good things that it brings to those receiving
(though, that is an important part of it), but it’s also the growth that
happens within.
This
is the growth that enables you to give more, and to inspire others to give. It’s
not just entertaining the mind and tickling humanitarian phases every now and
again; it’s learning how to live with charity in your heart, and in your
actions.
Charity is Christ. We receive His praise when we keep the commandments and live life according to the doctrines and principles that this world was created with. Charity (giving back) is one of those. I believe that this is where passion comes from is from.
Passion is when you are willing to earn something, no matter the cost, whether it be pain, patience, perseverance, or enduring all three together and more. I believe that once we gain Charity, we gain passion. As we gain more passion, the more we are able to have the qualities that Og Mandino writes in his scrolls. Willingness to accept yourself, to keep going no matter what, to seek guidance from other sources (hopefully the ultimate source), to live things in their season.
We can give back in countless ways, but with that, we can tear down and take away in just as many ways. With every actions there is another one just as powerful and just as opposite as the other. We are all compelled to go both ways, and there are many voices which one to choose, but there is only one voice that matters to the final decision.
I will make sure to listen to my mind and to my heart, and then pray; especially if the two disagree.
