Jason Nazar recently announced on his personal blog that he would be spending the next 30 days giving back to those in need. He explains in his post that he was inspired by a friend, Matt Cutts, at Google who kicked started his own set of 30 day challenges last year.
“for the next 30 days I’m going to do something each day to give to others. Its not always going to be a large amount of money and some days it won’t be money I’m giving away; I may make a donation online to various charities, give clothes to goodwill, buy a homeless person by my office a meal – I think what’s important is that I make myself think about the struggles other people are going through everyday.”
He makes a very good point. It seems more and more people are consumed by the things that are affecting them, and when they do think about doing something for others, they often use the excuse of later. It doesn’t take much to make an impact in someone else’s life and it definitely doesn’t take a lot of money.
Jason is asking for others to join his challenge and to help him find organizations and charities that you feel he should help out over the course of March. If you have one in mind he encourages you to leave it in the comments of his post. So far a few people have commeted and said they would join in the challenge including media empress Shira Lazar and David Travers from Rustic Canyon Partners.
Jason will be updating his blog regularly with his daily donation so you can follow along with his progress and hopefully get inspired to start your own.
