Sometimes, the way we choose to spend our money is about more than just getting something in return. It's about supporting a mission, a belief, or a way of life. I experienced that recently when I bought tickets to a vegan food festival.
I feel really good about giving my money to this festival, not just because I'm getting to attend something exciting but because I want to support what they stand for. I want them to host more festivals and help others understand the vegan culture. It's more than just a financial transaction; it feels like I'm contributing to a future that aligns with my values.
I was thinking about how this is somewhat similar to how some Jewish communities approach business. They often prioritize family and unity, supporting each other's endeavors. It's an admirable quality that got me thinking about the significance of aligning with those who share our values.
When you find a merchant or a creator who understands what's most important to you, it doesn't even feel like spending money. It's more like supporting a family member. You know you're getting something in return, but it goes beyond that. You're essentially investing in someone who feels like an extension of yourself.
I realized that every person has limited time to do all the things they might want to accomplish in life. So, we sometimes rely on others to carry out our visions. We delegate, not just within companies but in our personal lives, supporting those who are aligned with our goals.
It feels good to give money to someone who shares my values, someone who feels like an extension of me. It's more than just a financial exchange; it's about growing the family, so to speak.
Understanding oneself is crucial to recognize who is part of your "family." Who wouldn't you mind supporting because they feel like an extension of you? It's a powerful realization that makes me glad to invest in something that continues to grow and resonates with who I am. It's more than commerce; it's a connection, a partnership, a shared journey towards something bigger.
