I Choose to Give Back
During the holidays’, I like to give back by providing those in need with something they would love to have. For example, I know a family who struggles during times like this because money is low for them. They are a family of all boys and no mom. In my family, I have it pretty easy during the holidays so giving back to him for example brightens up my day a little more. It is very important to me to give back, because I know that by helping, I am able to make them happy. It gives me a sense of happiness and like I have accomplished something. It is not about what you get during these times but what you receive. Doing this kind of thing also allows me to take a moment and just take a step back. Take a step back to really get a grip on how lucky I am and that I truly am blessed. Not everyone can say the same. Times get tough and people around us just need to be shown a little bit of love now and again. If I am able to give back, then I choose to do so. Not everyone has it as easy as the rest of us. Giving when we are able too can make someone feel so good about the people they have around them. I like to feel like I have made a difference even if it is the smallest thing and this even helps me when I am able to give back. You do not have to give a whole bunch of money or everything you have in order to make someone’s day, the littlest thing or kind act can make a huge difference.
