The late, great Muhammad Ali once said, “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” The championship boxer spent his whole life giving back to others, seeing it as his lifelong mission.
Ali volunteered on a local and global scale, focusing on helping others in need and working towards equality for all genders, races and economic backgrounds. But why did he do this? He wanted to use his fame “to help uplift and inspire people around the world”. In other words, he saw it as his purpose.
Volunteering can help everyone achieve this same sense of purpose. Using your spare time in ways that contribute to your community can make you more aware that your life has vital meaning.
You don’t get money for volunteering – instead, you get paid in a different way: the joy of finding purpose in life. When you choose an organization to volunteer with, you choose to help solve a problem that means a lot to you. You become a part of something.
Want to gain a renewed sense of purpose in your life? Volunteering can bring meaning to your life as a whole. We promise, you’ll feel accomplished and happy from the work you put in!
