We primarily grow as human beings by discovering new truths about ourselves and our reality.

Are you one of those people who notices the problems of the world and says ... somebody ought to do something about that? Why not you? If you feel a strong urge to see a problem fixed, then why not act on it?

One of the secrets to success is recognizing that motivation follows action.

If something is important enough to you that you feel the urge to donate your money or time to it, I think it's best to try to express that form of giving through your career, not just as something you do on the side. If you enjoy your volunteering and charitable activities more than your career, it means your career is in serious need of an upgrade. In my opinion your career should be your best outlet for giving.

To abandon a comfortable lifestyle that isn't deeply fulfilling is to abandon nothing.

Replace "Have to" with "Want to."

Realize that you earn income by providing value - not time - so find a way to provide your best value to others, and charge a fair price for it.
