Gratitude is a great way to connect with others. When you show appreciation, people feel seen and they often experience a sense of belonging. This is one of the goals of developing a culture of philanthropy - something we will touch on in this book. In short, philanthropy means to love humanity. And connection and community are two essential parts of life that add beauty and fulfillment to the human experience. When you share gratitude with the people who are supporting your mission, they become part of your mission. And together, along with those that you are serving, you will build community and joy. And those are two key elements of living a soul-fulfilling life.
