Why should you give?
give for a couple of great reasons!
Let’s talk about YOU first! You may or may not know that there is something called the “Givers Glow”. It’s the chemicals that the brain releases when serving others. It’s well known for generating a sense of joy and peace. Joy and Peace for heavens’ sake. I am pretty confident that we all could use a huge dose of Joy and Peace these days! Generosity is also known to lower stress levels. It essentially triggers the release of "feel-good" chemicals like dopamine and endorphins, which in turn reduce stress and promote positive emotions. Again, I’m not out on a limb when I say WE ALL NEED TO REDUCE STRESS AND PROMOTE POSITIVE EMOTIONS.
Your generosity will help you and provide critical support to others who need it!
As for the others, your donations will not be a hand out of food, or socks, although both are very necessary when you don’t have them, rather your donations will give out skills that are building blocks for success.
By and large, Children of doctors become doctors,
children of lawyers become lawyers and children of athletes become athletes!
Now more than ever, individuals who are vulnerable to succumbing to the harsh, oppressive conditions of hyper segregated, low-income communities, must develop impactful, self-help skills. These are skills that will guide them out of government dependency. However, let’s be honest, these skills are not intuitive. The pulling of oneself up by bootstraps is impossible. Every one of us has needed assistance in some way, shape or form. Close family models are vital and one of the most effective roadmaps to success. It’s no coincidence that by and large, children of doctors become doctors, children of lawyers become lawyers, children of athletes become athletes and successful business people often leave their companies to their children to continue to run. There’s a privilege in seeing a profession played out for you everyday. You get to internalize work ethic, a sense of purpose and achievement along with guidance from a very personal mentor.
For individuals mired in poverty and limitations, there aren’t even formal instructions to help them get their boots on, until now. 3 Times As Many, Inc. has developed the I Got You Program to assist vulnerable birthing individuals to optimize the role they play in their own health and well-being. We do this by providing them with critical information, sharing strategies for developing enhanced communication skills and facilitating their development of a clear life’s purpose. We know this kind of movement can’t be done alone which is why we’ve added a coaching component. Our participants can seek bootstrapping skill advice from a cadre of successful people, we call Supportive Friends.
Nobody wants their tax dollars going to capable people who could do what the majority of us do. And - nobody wants to live in poverty, waiting for monthly government support that maintains dependency, and limitations that are far too oppressive.
Wouldn't our dollars be better spent providing vulnerable individuals with a roadmap to independence and the steps for identifying their purpose and contributions to society. There is a lot of room for improvement in our current state of affairs, society could certainly use the additional support.
