You may be in awe of the sheer scope of the great gulf that exists between abundance and need in the world today. Recent efforts to expand your worldview likely exposed you to degrees of suffering and want you never knew existed. As a consequence, your worldview may be expanding along with your awareness of the human condition. You may, however, find this information enlightening rather than disheartening as it allows you to begin immersing yourself in a variety of charitable undertakings. Enlightenment can help you make a positive difference today when it inspires you to investigate how you can use your resources philanthropically. The compassion and empathy you likely feel for those less fortunate than yourselves can give you the tools you need to help them.

Before we can change the world, we must comprehend the scope of need that exists. Though such explorations can be painful, they form the seed of compassion that germinates within our souls and prompts us to take up a philanthropic cause. When we have an intellectual and emotional understanding of both the problems faced by those less fortunate than ourselves and the tools they need to evolve out of their situations, we are equipped to make a positive difference. Compassion ignites empathy, which encourages us to move beyond our comfort zones in our quest to improve the lives of others. Doubt will find no foothold in our minds as we pursue our charitable endeavors. The understanding of need you develop today will empower you to become a force of positive change.
