A good volunteer is a person willing to step away from the limelight ... it’s not about you, it’s about others.
Apparently, it is highly plausible for you to show up in your best volunteering ’fit with your polished teeth shining and end up being more of a pain in the tushie. However, any effort to help your community, even picking up a sausage McMuffin wrapper off the road, is needed and appreciated. Before you start bragging to your butcher about your work with near-sighted orphans, take a moment to reflect on your involvement. Are you invested and committed? Make absolutely sure that your intentions match your exertions before you go forth and save the world.
