Is The Pay Good?

Is it me or is it real?

I noticed most times I tell people, "I have an offer for you."
The next thing I hear is "Is the pay good?"

It strikes me how much we put money over everything.

Where did talent grooming go?
Where did the urge to impact lives and inspire souls go?
Where did the fulfillment in knowing you are doing something to better the society go?

Why is it money, money, money?
Money has become our lord and savior.

I understand the situation of the economy but you giving 20 naira or 50 naira to beggars is not the only way to make a difference.

Last I heard, volunteering is willing service to humanity. Jesus volunteered to die for us. We didn't pay a kobo and through him we have eternal life.

How much more just putting what you know how to do best into proper use.

I know we want to make money, we all need to but once in a while if not most of the time, let's try to be selfless.

You never can tell where your selfless acts will take you.

I have also learnt that volunteering brings about connections. You never know who is who or who can assist in the nearby future.

You want to make someone smile? Volunteer.
You want to feel that sense of usefulness? Volunteer.
You want to save a life? Volunteer.

Do not think you are doing all you are doing for free, reward is at the door already.
