Charitable impulses can compel you to look for opportunities to devote your resources to help others overcome challenging circumstances today. Yet as you move through the various spheres of your life, your many obligations can get in the way of your desire to give generously to those less fortunate than yourself. If you tap into your compassion and your empathy, you will likely find it easier to maintain your altruistic mood and make the most of your time, energy, skills, and money in the fight against suffering. Consider today where you can best apply your resources before proceeding, and you will no doubt find that you can have a positive impact on the lives of others that is greater than you ever imagined possible.

We are most apt to share our copious resources with people in need when our charitable impulses are guided by empathetic feelings. While it is easy to see that our philanthropic pursuits make the world a better place, there is often so much to do that giving falls by the wayside. Our deep, emotional understanding of the plight of those suffering under the heavy burden of injustice or poverty can remind us of the importance of selflessness and generosity. Since we know what sort of help we would want were we in a less fortunate position, we are uniquely suited to the task of lifting others into the light. We eschew recompense when giving when we see the joy in others' eyes as its own reward. When your desire to give is motivated by compassion today, you will enjoy sharing your abundance with others.
