Friday Thoughts with V.P. Pat Flynn 9/25

Wally Conway introduced me to Strategic Philanthropy, it hasn’t hit home for me until recently…

He asked me to be a Best Buddies Champion for this fundraising season.

To be honest, I didn’t have much free time as it was, so taking on a campaign for a cause I wasn’t familiar with wasn’t high on my to-do list.

When I dove in and witnessed the gratitude and the incredible difference it makes in lives, it clicked for me.

Taking it a step further…

I am able to pair the philanthropy up with our business in a way that benefits both YellowBird and the members of this group.

I have always heard that in order to receive you need to give, but I haven’t seen it in my own life until recently…

“Practicing the Law of Giving is actually very simple: if you want joy, give joy to others; if you want love, learn to give love; if you want attention and appreciation, learn to give attention and appreciation; if you want material affluence, help others to become materially affluent.  In fact, the easiest way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.” – Deepak Chopra

Find something that speaks to you and get working.
