The Importance of Giving Back

You find your most balanced and successful self when you are in the service of others.  When I am coaching with a client who is stuck and not happy with aspects of their lives that lack peace and balance, I recommend to them to get involved with a non-profit.  When we are helping others in some capacity (not just giving money) the selfless person discovers compassion, satisfaction, appreciation for life and gratitude.  So, if you live your life at a frantic pace and never are able to shut down that energy, find a cause that is dear to your heart and get involved.  You will find new things about yourself that you may not have known before and you'll probably start prioritizing what and who are important to in your life and change some habits.
