As we work through the beginning stages of Givr, I have taken some time to reflect on benefits it has provided thus far, since I am a reflective person. Even though Givr is in its early infancy and not yet ready to be assessed on its results, I have already seen benefits in my own life, and so it excites me to think about the great future potential.
Because of Givr, I have already thought about how I can give more throughout the week. Givr gives me passion about the idea of engraining new and innovative ways to give into my life. So at its core I can see it start to work – since I am starting to better work the idea of giving into my habitual thoughts, I will give more this year than last. I will find new ways to give since I am thinking about it, and thus know I will look more. Furthermore, since it is on my mind, I will share that with others, hopefully encouraging them to give more as well.
All I have to do is nurture the thought in my mind, continue working with the wonderful people with Givr to grow it, and continue to see Givr grow and go into a mainstream movement so other people will be thinking about giving more as well. Ultimately this will translate into more giving. All acts must start with a vision. Givr is providing me with an exciting vision of a giving community. This is just the start.
