Your own selflessness can surprise you today as you put aside your own personal needs in order to do all you can to help others. While you may feel driven to give assistance and sustenance to people in your immediate sphere of influence, consider extending your efforts beyond this limiting range. As you mull over the charitable opportunities open to you, take a moment to reflect upon your goals. If you allow your compassion to dictate your choices today, you will likely find your selfless service taking unexpected pathways. You may find you enjoy meeting your neighbors and working to clean up your community, or playing a supporting role in a larger organization that reaches out to people in need all over the globe.

Once we are freed from the notion that only certain individuals are worthy of our compassion, we can begin living lives defined by real and selfless service. The multitudinous effects of this inward change are reflected outward at both those who are the recipients of our charitable work and those who observe the cumulative consequences of our efforts. As we come to realize that worldwide evolution can only occur when we focus on humanity as a whole--without regard to any of the inconsequential characteristics that divide individuals from one another--we regard philanthropy as a blessed duty and are more likely to share our resources gladly with people in need, without regret. Your blind selflessness will guide you toward opportunities to help those in need today, no matter how their lives or ideologies differ from your own.
