Hands that help are holier than lips that pray.

We don't have much time to think. We walk very concerned and busy with our immense and particular needs, which are often narrow and without any importance.
Volunteering awakens, opens, expands, and moves us towards directions that we never thought , never knew we needed, and afterwards  it changes our state of mind.
Among many others advantages, volunteer enables us to polish the edges of our personality, to become more active. It allows us meeting wonderful people, stripping us from prejudice, making us being able to feel the happiness to give without expectation of reward, but with absolute certainty that the greatest reward is a smile, a warm hand or a hug request.

Volunteering allows us to grow as human beings.
We live in a world that, in general, what motivate people, is money and everything else that gives the appearance of possessing it. Sometimes, ethics is forgotten when large sums of money are involved. Volunteer work is pure donation, in which the motion is given by the joy of sharing something that fills us as human beings. And that is priceless.
My life changed after the experiences as a volunteer, and my great personal motivation is to have the opportunity to connect with people and talk all these amazing themes that are so simple and so effective. I have read and tried many complex theories about life and found myself in a simplicity that, I joke, is so obvious that is annoying. This is also a great learning experience of human values: we are what we are. Without complications and major theories, acknowledging our feelings and respecting the feelings of others. We can notice differences between the first meetings and the rest, when live values ​​begin to pervade the lives of participants. Looking under new angle when experiencing the same situations, shows how the experiences as volunteers makes a difference in our lives. I realize that in volunteering, the predominant energy  is the freedom. There is an understanding that  putting me in the service collaborate in building that so desired "peaceful" world. Of course, the first to experience this happiness is the volunteer.
These feelings, or values, are increasingly strong and will activate others positively. Consequently, this internal movement, activating inner values, reflects in the external environment  and, naturally, it inspires others to experience those values.
It Becomes ever more real and easier to experience the value of being who I am. This experience, arising from the redemption and understanding of values ​​innate of beings, generates memories that will eliminate discomfort facilitating the realization that we have everything we want and that we can fill ourselves from the inside out, with love, peace, joy, respect, etc.. and then recovering the power that always keep us free, humorous, light, happy, safe, serene, gentle, loving, and so on. Because this is our original nature.
When we rescue and enjoy the universal human values, which is common to all beings and the foundation that supports real relationships, authentic and healthy, it reduces / eliminates the energy drained. We break the cycle of negativity, restoring the ability to acting right. It frees us from the burden of judgments, criticism and punishment, because when we activate the positive energy and healthy action that is in harmony with the values ​, negativity will be extinct.
