Remember the Declaration of Independence saying that we all had a right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”? We all have that right, and we should not worry about an “us vs. them” line of thinking. No one person is better than someone else and we are all connected to each other in one way or another. We need to find ways to connect with people instead of separating from each other. We can all work together in the same pursuit – the pursuit of happiness.
We seek to find ways to live free from fear and to live from a place of love in all areas of life: health, finances, relationships, family, career, etc. To put it simply, we seek to HEAL ourselves by accepting ourselves wholly and being free of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that can torment us and sabotage our lives.
Only a healed and whole person can lead a happy and successful life. It sounds so simple, yet so many of us get overly caught up in the material concerns of the world, which can lead us to fear and its family (anger, resentment, guilt, blame, shame, etc.) We human beings have also developed a “me versus you” or “us versus them” mentality. We have led ourselves away from the divine one-ness/wholeness of the great Universe of which we are a part. We see this today in the phenomenon of school bullying, racial discrimination, and war, just to name a few examples. There are unfortunately many others.

When we volunteer our time to do something for others, such as helping out an elderly neighbor or taking part in a local community project, it can be good news for our health, our children’s education and even reduce the local crime rate too.
People who live in areas that record high levels of informal voluntary activity in their neighborhood, also enjoy better health, students perform better and their communities suffer fewer burglaries. There is an interesting link between helping others and enjoying a good quality of life. It seems that when we focus on the needs of others, we may also reap benefits ourselves. It means that voluntary activity in the community is associated with better health, lower crime, improved educational performance and greater life satisfaction. Communities with lots of public and community engagement are also communities that have environments that foster promising outcomes such as these.
Volunteering has a positive influence, irrespective of a community’s social class or wealth. A relatively poor community with lots of voluntary activity can do better in relation to health, crime and education than a relatively affluent community which lacks such activity. There is a strong link between communities with lots of volunteering and those where people are very satisfied with their lives.
Volunteering is a growing activity. Volunteering clearly has benefits for citizens, families and communities. Volunteerism also helps create a commodity more powerful than money called Social Capital.
