Help those less fortunate than yourself, because the personal rewards are immeasurable. A bonus of performing good deeds is that you can use these experiences to build your reputation. Your reputation determines how people view you, and having a good one is worth more than any education, skills or talents.
I have a colleague who volunteered A LOT of his free time to a particular local chapter of a non-profit organization. It was through his network at this organization that he found an opening for a full-time, paid position with benefits.
He applied, interviewed, and got the job. The people who interviewed him already had heard great things about him from other volunteers, had seen him in action many times, knew about his work ethic, the kind of person he is, and his dedication to their cause.
He later learned that his volunteer efforts and remarkable reputation are what put him head-and-shoulders above the other candidates.

A great reputation can open many doors, but spending time helping others will make you feel fantastic about yourself and the positive impact you make on their lives.
Giving to others is an awesome opportunity to recognize--and be grateful for--the abundance in your own life.
