When we can make a meaningful contribution to someone\u2019s life, even if it is simply a kind word to brighten their day, there is a shift created in our energy. Giving can change our lives by fostering empathy and compassion and shifting our perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When we help others, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In this article, we will talk about how contribution and giving can change one\u2019s life perspective and how it contributes to personal development.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Contribution &amp; Personal Development<\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32462 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iamcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/contribution-and-giving.jpg\" alt=\"contribution and personal development\" width=\"964\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iamcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/contribution-and-giving.jpg 964w, https:\/\/iamcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/contribution-and-giving-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iamcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/contribution-and-giving-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mastersriakarshana.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Master Sri Akarshana<\/span><\/strong><\/a> has always spoken about how giving and contributing have been catalysts in his personal growth and development journey. He often shares:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I made all the money, had the big house, drove the fancy cars, got the girlfriend, and had everything (or at least that&#8217;s what everyone else thought). But I was having daily suicidal thoughts and suffering from depression and I was afraid to speak out. The problem was I was lost in life chasing money, materials, and fame thinking that happiness was on the other side of this. I quickly learned from the children in Kenya, who had no food, no clothes, and no education that happiness can be found from within. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-block-embed-youtube is-type-video is-provider-youtube epyt-figure\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_17408\"  width=\"750\" height=\"421\"  data-origwidth=\"750\" data-origheight=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1t5KivPpBHE?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&modestbranding=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When we contribute our time, resources, and help to those in need we are stepping outside of our comfort zone all the while enriching someone else\u2019s life. As we step out of these comfort zones there will be a call for us to adapt to new unfamiliar situations, face some challenges, and embrace all the different perspectives we will encounter. This is what will foster our personal development because we will need to acquire even more skills, evolve, and deepen our understanding of the world around us even more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When we understand ourselves and the world around us more, our perspective also shifts and this can lead to a deeper sense of purpose. One of the four pillars of life is having a higher purpose and as we move more and more into our purpose we will find a deeper sense of happiness and fulfilment. When we shift our focus from ourselves to giving and helping others, our contribution to the world becomes even more worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Contribution &amp; Giving: It\u2019s Not Just For Them, It\u2019s Also For You!<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32463 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iamcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iamverse-giving.jpg\" alt=\"contribution and personal development\" width=\"964\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iamcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iamverse-giving.jpg 964w, https:\/\/iamcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iamverse-giving-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iamcreator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iamverse-giving-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are numerous emotional and psychological benefits to contributing to others. <em>Psychology Today<\/em> talks about what is referred to as <\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/intl\/blog\/high-octane-women\/201409\/helpers-high-the-benefits-and-risks-altruism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>\u201chelper\u2019s high\u201d<\/i><\/a><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> described as a rush of positive emotions that is sometimes experienced after performing an altruistic act.
