We cannot neglect the importance of giving back. It may seem counterintuitive, but the more you give, the more you will receive. I understand that in desperate times the last thing you think you can afford to do is donate to charity. But I promise that it will come back to you tenfold.
And perhaps you truly cannot afford to give money. There were times in my life when my bank account had a negative balance, so believe me I understand. If this is the case, then consider donating your time. Or maybe some of your clothing. It’s up to you. But I promise it is worth your time.
It all goes back to the Law of Attraction. What you put out is what you get back. So if you need more money, then give more money. No matter how wealthy, or how poor, we all need to give. Selfishness will not reward you in the end.
The universe is a living, loving thing. It likes to share with those who share. It gives to those who give. It really doesn’t matter how small the amount is. When done with a pure heart the return will be immense.
And there are so many other reasons to be charitable. You can make a positive impact. Make a difference in the world and contribute to a cause that you care about.
Personal fulfillment. You’ll have a greater sense of personal fulfillment and satisfaction, knowing that you are making a positive contribution to society.
Strengthening the community: Charitable giving can help to strengthen the community by supporting causes that are important to everyone.
Improving the lives of others: Whether through providing food and shelter to those in need, supporting medical research, or helping to fund education programs. Your ability to help others is limitless.

Never underestimate the benefits of giving. Make it a part of your life, and inevitably a part of your character. This way when you do have wealth it won’t even be an issue to give some of it away. This is very important. True happiness will not come from hoarding your money.
If you don’t intend to use your wealth for good and to contribute to the world then you don’t deserve it.
Have a charitable mindset and the universe will take care of you, and all of your needs.
