There is always the possibility of creating a win-win situation! You don’t need to sacrifice your health, time, energy and money for altruistic goals unless those goals are in harmony with your own goals. To achieve your dream in life you need to listen to the still small voice of conscience in your heart and devote yourself to unceasing labor in the fulfillment of that dream.
There will always be altruistic causes that try to pull you away from your personal dream. But there will also always be altruistic causes that support your dream and you can choose to support those instead of the ones that drain your resources and pull you away from your personal goal. It doesn’t need to be one or the other! If you can’t find a win-win situation then you need to be more creative. You also need to find something else to support. If it doesn’t support your own goals and values don’t support it!
There are people that earn their livings by convincing or forcing people to sacrifice increasingly larger portions of time, property, and earnings to their own individual causes and those of other nonproductive people. These people never learn that hard work, personal effort and honesty are needed to develop true competency in life. They don’t earn the money themselves, and they never learn how to earn money themselves. They only know how to take it away from other people by conning them into giving their own personal power away to some external authority which the professional represents!
Give your support to those that are willing to put out personal effort themselves and to those that are walking a path similar to your own. Keep looking for that win-win solution and you will find it!
