BLOG DAY - POVERTY - WHAT CAN A PERSON DO?

A Tidbit:

The Answer to the Question of Poverty and what a person can do: Anything that you want to do will be beneficial. Now, please, simply do it.

Poverty is, unfortunately, endemic. Yet, it does not need to be. It is not all about the influx of money to solve the problem.

Every time you truly "LISTEN" to another, and provide support, without judgment, you are providing vast wealth to the other person. It does not necessarily take $$$$ that you do not have.

Suggestion: 1. Set aside some time to truly discover what is around you. Then determine the needs, and offer what time you can.

2. Be consistent. Once you decide your role, and create some time - be consistent. Many people have had fleeting support, and are distrustful of others.

3. Then, be open to discovery. You just might discover more from the experience than you believe you provide. Heard that before, yet not experienced it yet? Well then, don't you think it is time?

4. Make a Joyful Memory! Purchase a silicone bracelet or two - you will do both, benefit others and yourself. "Squeeze Joy Each Minute. Time Does Not Return, Yet Memories Do."

Good morning Susan this is Jane from New Bern. It's amazing how much poverty is all around us. Whatever time someone has is a benefit to others and I so agree with that.

I help out on weekends at one of the open door missions for about 2 to 3 hrs I give my time. When I'm done I have so much joy from helping the homeless and anyone in need.

It makes me feel wonderful inside to beable to provide my time and enjoy helping others and seeing the pleasant looks on there faces just by talking to them is all it takes sometimes to lift someones spirits up.

Susan, you have been doing a wonderful job on your blog site please keep it up as you are providing a benefit and service to others.

Tell your photographer great job as always on the pictures...

Looking forward to your next post.

It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you at the restaurant hope all is well with you.

The question about poverty is up to the person. Everybody will say that he or she wants to be wealthy, but not everybody is ready for such changes in his or her life. So to make a capital you need to make some definite steps towards new way of life. You should not spend money on unnecessary purchases and live without any savings. Also you should prefer payday loan online from Vita loans to long-term obligations, because the economic situation is unstable and people have no clear understanding of future.
