Did you know that donating to charity and being a generous does more than help those in need? I actually changes you as a person. There are many benefits to it that span across multiple areas like your health, wealth, love, happiness, relationships and overall quality of life and satisfaction! Here we'd like to share some of the ways you'll be helping yourself by helping others in hopes of expanding your awareness about just how vital generosity can be for you.

1. Emotional and mental well-being

Giving to others releases "feel good" chemicals in your brain such as dopamine which can lead to a reduction in stress, anxiety and even depression. In practice, it functions as a way to combat these negative feelings that many of us experience in our daily lives. So if you're ever feeling really bad, one of the best ways to feel better is actually to help someone else. Which also takes your mind off your problems for a while, and allows you some time to clear your head.

2. Improves reputation, expands network and creates opportunities

Participating in charities will force you to meet like minded successful individuals with whom you can establish relationships with. It will also show your existing network who you really are, a caring and giving person that is looking out for the little guy. And finally, with these two combined you are sure to come across new opportunities in your personal and professional life that you wouldn't have otherwise encountered.

3. What goes around comes around

It is often the case that the most successful people through modern history have also been some of the most charitable ones. You might think that it is their vast success that then allows them to give and donate from what they've acquired to aid vulnerable populations. But what if we told you that often times, it was the other way around? That it's the fact that they acted very selflessly in the first place that then caused people, organizations, life and even God to help them be on a path to win big so they'd be able to continue giving and give even more. Just look into the charitable nature of people like Oprah Winfrey if you want proof!

4. Increases self-esteem and confidence

Taking action towards making a noticeable difference for humanity can inspire a great sense of purpose within you. Nothing fills you with a self worth like waking up every day knowing that you are a key part in making life better for others. In no uncertain terms, the best way to feel important is to be an important person in somebody else's life. You matter because you can change things for the better.

5. Tax and financial benefits

Depending on your location and situation, donating to charity can be tax deductible. In other words, the government recognizes that you are giving back to your community and society at large helping make this an overall better world for everyone. Possibly even better than what the government itself could have done with that same money (had it been collected as taxes). So if you're going to be taxed anyways, why not make sure yourself that the money goes into helping people in need for real?

Finally, beyond all of what we just talked about, you'll also be building your legacy. What will you be remembered by? What will the fruits of your labor be? You'll probably want at least some of that to include being a person that cared not just about themselves but also for others, specially those that nobody else would help (but you did, you stepped up for them). So what are you waiting for?! There is no downside to giving generously and helping those who are less fortunate than yourself. It can often be confusing to find the right starting point or first step once you've made the decision to do so. Talita Cumi is here to help make that process more straightforward for you. Facilitating the connection between donors and populations in need of help. And using the most effective methods to create the biggest positive change from that help for them.
