Be the change you wish to see in the world
Many people interpret the idea of “charity begins at home” to mean that it’s important to take care of yourself and your family before worrying about others. For example, they believe that it doesn’t make sense to worry about whether other families have enough to eat before your own family’s needs are taken care of.
While this approach makes sense to an extent, it’s also a misinterpretation of the proverb.
Multiple studies have indicated that happiness and a sense of fulfillment comes more from helping others and putting others ahead of yourself, along with a sense of gratitude, than from wealth or possessions. In other words, being charitable — truly charitable — is one of the secrets to a “good” life, and the idea of charity beginning at home has less to do with taking care of your own needs, and more to do with teaching your children about how to give to others so that it becomes a natural part of life for them.
