Giving From Obligation Versus Purpose


Giving From Obligation Versus Purpose

Giving. 

Something that is seen as good.

And attractive.

And charitable. 

And because it is seen as such, sometimes that sight from others can create a sense of obligation.

An obligation.

Being morally or legally bound.

"Because it's the right thing to do."

"Because it's what's required or asked of you." 

Do you give out of obligation or purpose?

What is your purpose? 

The reason for which you exist.

Do you have one? 

Can you clearly articulate it?

Have you created it?

Do you give out of obligation or purpose?

How might it feel to give out of obligation?

How might it feel to give from a place of purpose?

What feeling do you want to feel?

Perhaps you can create more of it.
