Did you know that giving can actually be just as, if not more, beneficial for you as receiving? You can research giving, and you will find countless reasons why, and how, a generous giver will benefit from donating funds to charitable causes.
Have you ever thought about giving, but weren’t quite sure if you should?
Here are some great benefits…
Giving Activates Pleasure
In studies done on the brain, research has found that when you give, the pleasure centres of your brain are activated. This means that giving can actually help to make you feel better mentally.
Giving Adds Meaning to Life
If you’ve ever wondered about life’s purpose, or more specifically, your own existence, giving can help with this. When you, along with other people, are giving to those in need, and you know it’s bringing aid and relief to those who desperately require it, the act of giving will add more meaning to your own life.
This world needs selfless people, and you being one of them adds value to the universal concept of giving.
Setting an Example
When you give money to charitable causes, your children or family members may observe what you’re doing, and therefore, you are in a position to set a great example of what it means to have a “heart of a giver.”
Who knows, your children or family members may be inspired to start giving as well; this positive domino effect will multiply the fruitfulness of your generosity!
Money Management
If you give funds systematically (perhaps using mobile payments), it can help you to manage your own finances, and keep things in order in your household. You will be more attentive to make sure everything is paid on time.
Giving is a funny equation. You give, but you receive even more.
