Do you feel the need to give back to the world? Are you looking to help those in need? Do you find yourself longing to be part of something greater? Here are a few steps you can take to help make the world a better place.
1. Reach Out to Charitable Organizations
There are plenty of non profit organizations based in Fort Myers, FL in need of time, effort, and money. If you feel called to help, it’s just a matter of finding them. Once you find a non profit you believe in; you can start to figure out exactly how you’d like to help. Some people like to roll up their sleeves and can build things with their bare hands; others are more comfortable working behind the scenes, helping with social media awareness campaigns, helping out in the kitchen, or transporting goods. Ask what they need help with, they will let you know!
2. Find Your Causes
Naturally people have causes and projects that are closer to their heart than others. This obviously doesn’t mean that they don’t care about other world issues. In fact many times this is beneficial. Passion helps focus your efforts on something that’s personal and meaningful to you, often when a cause is near and dear to us it’s because we have experience in said field. Search for fields that are passionate to you; some could be could be literacy, poverty, hunger, homelessness, human trafficking, abuse, education, conservation, and much more.
3. Think About the Big Picture
It is often times easy to get lost in our day to day lives. Many people dwell in the past or simply survive the present. Sometimes we forget about our own future, let alone think about the bigger picture and our inevitable impact on its course.
If we would just take a few minutes, to do this, if we could fight the uncomfortable thought that we only are on this earth for a limited amount of time. We could come to terms with the fact that our actions do matter. Everything we do, good or bad adds up in the end. If you ever feel like what you are doing is insignificant or not enough, remember, a drop of water might not be enough to satisfy a famine, but a drop of water does its part, along with the millions of drops that follow it.
