Contribution: Not just a trend, but a need.
I’ve been noticing lately that everywhere you turn there is another charitable group (and accompanying website) popping up. Some of these groups are celebrity driven, such as American Idol Gives Back; others are started by just regular people, such as A Million Thanks.org.
In this blog, I’ve regularly been referring to people that have made significant progress in making a difference in the world around them. And, I’ve been wondering for some time now, too, is this just a new trend getting more media coverage lately? and what could be driving this trend? Could it be something to do with the new Millennial Generation as some might want to suggest? I wasn’t so sure.
Having just come across a great Tony Robbins clip through Ted.com (click here to view), I was reminded that “Contribution” is one of the six universal human needs that is the core of Tony Robbins’ emotional mastery material. This need for contribution — and maybe a raising of human consciousness is gradually occurring, too — makes this out to likely be more than just a passing fad.
Makes me wonder about what contributions I’ll be making in the world around me in the coming years?
