We need to help others as part of our own self-actualization and finding a purpose in life that is greater than us as individuals.
We need to help others as part of our own self-actualization and finding a purpose in life that is greater than us as individuals. Our need to contribute begins with providing for our own families and loved ones during and after our lifetimes.
We also seek to reach our full potential by making contributions, monetary and otherwise, that benefit the people, issues and causes in our communities and beyond. We find moral, spiritual and ethical satisfaction knowing that sharing our personal and financial growth can benefit others.
Our need and desire to contribute helps others meet their own seven core needs -- financial, health, safety, love, significance, growth and contribution.
