Being generous should not make you fell guilty

 

 

Should Being Generous Make You Feel Guilty?




If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~Dalai Lama
I invited my friend, James Swanwick, to join us on our trip to Guatemala over the Memorial Day holiday. As with all of the other participants in our efforts there, he came away from the experience with a new perspective on service, generosity, and what it really means to help someone. I wanted to share a post that James wrote on his own blog titled: I Just Sponsored a Family - So Why Do I Feel So Guilty? Being of service to others is such a win-win - you help, the people you help help others, and you feel good about it all. Remember, you can play a part in helping with our efforts in Guatemala. Donations will be invested directly into sponsoring education, health, hygiene, and even collaborative efforts to build a community center that will provide jobs and learning opportunities. Thanks for all of your generosity.
