VOLUNTEERS
I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.
The help we expect from you, is just the help that you are able, willing, and motivated to give. Whatever your background may be, whatever life you are leading, which ever country you reside in, whatever your social status may be, I assure you that if you were to really look into the world, and this community that I present to you here, very soon you will acknowledge how much you are truely able to give.
We have all been put on this earth, and somehow have strived to attain the life we lead. Through education, through hardships or ease, through inheritances, through support of different kinds we have established a life of comfort, of experiences, and of access to whatever the world has to offer. This is where the mentality of ‘accomplished’ needs to be stimulated. Are we accomplished when we are able to attain everything we need for our SELF, or is accomplishment defined when we are able to build our lives with such stability and strength so that we can reach out and ‘help’ and ‘support’ others that were not so fortunate? Is our strength defined by how it measures in a world of equally strong individuals, or is it defined by how many weak we strengthen?
The purpose of life is not to be happy - but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.
One should perceive themselves as a means for the betterment of human society. Everything that you have accomplished, everything you have attained, everything you had the opportunity to strive for, is on account of your own efforts, but it is not absent of a divine intervention. You have what you have due to your own actions, but more significantly because a divine power has somehow chosen you to have those life experiences. That divine power has selected you as a tool to help mankind through whatever you attained that others did not. This is important for everyone to recognize this responsibility and GIVE back to society. You have these entities, not just for YOU but to be able to give to the people that are just as deserving, but just not as fortunate. Your health is not for you to have, but to share. Your finances are not for you to indulge, but to share. Your mental stability is not just for you, but to empower and motivate others. Your access to the world and all it has to offer, is not just for you to utilize but to open doors for others. If you do not have the finances to donate, donate your time, donate your thoughts to this cause, donate your support, donate your physical abilities to build, donate your motivation and your ideas to our team, donate your resources, share your strengths with the weak. In whatever way you can give, to whatever degree you can give, to whatever capacity you can give, in whatever manner you can give, GIVE.
If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one.
Time is of essence, these communities have been living with nothing for too long of a time now. You have been living too long without reaching your full potential and time is of essence. Do not limit and restrictively define your accomplishments to the life of only your SELF. Redefine your sense of accomplishment so that when you analyze your life, you are accomplishment because you expanded your wealth to the world and you made a difference in someone else’s life. So before the opportunity to assist escapes you, before this opportunity fleets away, BEGIN NOW.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
