Giving: A Renewed Sense of Purpose

The real power of giving lies in the power of small.

Masami Sato, Founder & CEO of Buy One Give One (B1G1)

My daily quote app reminded me of Abraham Lincoln's words this morning, that "the best way to predict the future is to create it". It is common wisdom that there is plenty to go around in the world, and yet people are still starving and struggling. In a recent webinar I heard Sharon Pearson, founder of the Coaching Institute of Australia, speaking about how giving was part of the values and beliefs of the organisation.

As my mind wandered to the happiest times of my life, I remembered it was always when I gave, either of my time or my resources. Not a lot, just a little. It is the Power of Small. And then, following the third principle of success in coaching, what we focus on is what we get, the giving ripple struck again, this time like a tsunami. I listened to another webinar, by APL Accountants, Paolo Lencioni interviewing the Chairman of B1G1.com, Paul Dunn, and the next thing, Silver Wizard Coaching has now embedded giving into its processes. Thank you TCI for pulling me back to my core values.

If the best way to predict the future is by creating it, what would happen if we all gave back, just by doing the things we do every day?
