Would you love to volunteer for a charitable cause? Nine out of ten persons would answer in affirmative but will come up with excuses or reasons why they cannot commit time immediately. Well, you will never have time to volunteer for a noble cause. Let us face it, we all like to live life to the fullest and rarely, if ever, have free time in our hands. If you are going to wait until you have free time in your hands to charity, you will have to wait forever.

People counter this by pointing out that it is not fair for those who are needy for an individual to commit time but not to fulfill the commitment at a later date. Definitely. To promise something and to back out at the last moment is not the hallmark of a decent individual.

When the promise has been made to help certain needy persons, it becomes even more important to fulfill the same properly. However, what is the point of hiding from commitment simply because you feel you may not be in a position to fulfill it?

After all, how difficult can it be to take one hour to take out of your busy schedule in a week? Many persons point out that they may be in a position to take out an hour immediately but may not be in a position to do so next week.

Why always think of the future when it comes to committing to a charitable cause? The fact that you can give one hour of your precious time today is what matters. Who knows whether tomorrow may exist or not?
