When it feels like your life is going well, and you have everything you could need or want, that is the perfect time to think about what you can do for someone else. How can you improve the life of someone who perhaps hasn’t been as fortunate as you? At doTERRA, we are passionate about giving back to the universe that has blessed us, and we are proud that so many of our Wellness Advocates share this passion.
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not” Dr. Seuss
The wise words of Dr. Seuss highlight that changing the world for the better starts with each individual person, and remind us that each of us can do something to make a positive impact on those around us.
It can be hard to know what you can do to have a positive influence on the world, so we have put together a few suggestions that may help put you on the right track.
- Start close to home. You might have an elderly relative at home that needs your support, or perhaps someone who just wants to spend time with you. Does your grandpa need help mowing the lawn? Does your mum need help with a spring clean? You don’t always need to look far to help.
- Search for organisations in your area who are accepting volunteers, and apply!
- Donate to charity. Every donation counts, no matter how big or small.
- If you are a member of any religious organization, ask your religious leader for ways you can help.
Helping others is a fulfilling and meaningful experience, for both the giver and the receiver. With all of our good fortune, it is important not to forget the value of giving back to the world that has blessed us.
