The thing that most people look for in life is happiness. Yet, most people don’t realize it or will not admit to it and argue they are searching for money, true love, or something else.
|
|
But in reality, it is happiness what people want more than anything else. Well, real happiness is not achieved through money or other such device, but rather by helping our fellow beings on Earth.
You can obviously donate money to the charities you support, but there are many ways to help others that do not require donating money. These include:
-
Giving blood;
-
Helping a friend to decorate or clean up their house;
-
Helping a family member in their garden;
-
Writing a thank you letter;
-
Visiting someone you haven’t visited for ages; and
-
Helping a neighbor in any way you like.
It is interesting to note that doing several good deeds in close time proximity is better for you than doing the same good deeds spaced farther apart in time.

Up to 60 million homeless cats are estimated to roam the USA, many of which were unwanted by their owners and dumped somewhere to fend for themselves.
|
|
It is sad that people who don’t spay or neuter their cats subsequently abandon them when they become a burden. This results in an estimated 4 million to 14 million cats being euthanized in the USA each year.
But how do we solve this problem?

There are many misconceptions about why people are homeless. The fact is that as many as 3.5 million Americans are homeless each year, more than 1 million of which are children.
|
|
Many people think that most of the homeless are repeating a cycle of chronic or episodic homeless. However, the fact is that more than half of the homeless are families with children who were forced into homelessness by one or more unexpected life altering events.
For example, the loss of loved ones, job loss, domestic violence, divorce, family disputes, depression, untreated mental illness, post traumatic stress disorder, and physical disabilities.
Knowing the real causes of homelessness is the first step to ending homelessness in America and around the world.

Leading volunteers is a rewarding experience yet at the same time challenging to one’s leadership abilities. Many people are counting on you and yet you have no traditional authority.
|
|
Fortunately, there is no great mystery to successfully leading projects. Start by identifying a need and developing a vision of the desired results that solve the need. It is critical to develop a clear picture of what success looks like.
Break down the project into sub-tasks and recruit people with the skills to execute each. Hold meetings in which everyone stays focused on the big picture to develop a reverse time line for the project.
Utilize resolution management, frequent follow-ups, and personal accountability to motivate your team to accomplish great things.
