While living in Chicago & Cincinnati, I never gave any money to homeless people when I saw them shivering on the street. I thought at the time that it was a waste of money and oh, that’ll never happen to me, or there’s enough people giving them money, I need this $3.63 in my pocket \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Not only are you helping someone survive a really tough life, the inter-conscienceness also starts paying you forward.<\/p>\n

Let me try and explain. I prefer to deliver food so I can make sure the ‘peeps in the streets’\u00a0are fed instead of cracked out, but I do bath products, hygiene-ish, motels or just straight cash. Every time you give,\u00a0dopamine<\/a>\u00a0is released making you happy & emotionally stable. It tells your brain to ease tension and relax after the initial high.<\/p>\n

google that ish.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I pay it forward whenever I can. It’s powerful.<\/p>\n

learn or die.
