Opportunities to share your resources with those less fortunate will likely present themselves to you today, allowing you to satisfy any charitable impulses that come over you. Yet even as you sacrifice your time, energy, or money to improve the lot of others, you may nonetheless feel dissatisfied with your contribution. You can be certain that the assistance you give others is both sufficient and well-received today by simply performing each charitable act in a selfless state of mind. Since your focus is then fixed on the objects of your compassion, you will likely enjoy more intense feelings of interconnectivity with those on the receiving end of your generous gifts.

The charitable acts we perform often bring us a deeper sense of satisfaction when we adopt a mind-set of selflessness while carrying them out. This is because when we are focused on the welfare of others, we build a karmic account or reputation of generosity for ourselves and naturally devote more of our energy and dedication to the philanthropic tasks at hand. We are more apt to make sacrifices that benefit the objects of our concern as we have no motive that overshadows our simple desire to be of help to those in need. Whether we are regarded as kind or compassionate is less important to us than actually being able to perform kind and compassionate acts. The selflessness with which you give others aid and support today will ensure that you are able to do the most good with the resources available to you.
