It is not lost on me that I have this money because of a system that creates disproportionate wealth for some people. The least I can do is redirect it.
I have a disproportionate amount of money to share. The easiest way to share it is with organizations already doing the work.
I had one idea that never changed in my mind — that you should use your wealth to help people.
I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while you can.
Giving back is not something you do after you have made your money. It is something you do while you are making it.
If you have more than you need, you have a responsibility to share it. It is not a choice. It is an obligation.
The Rs 10,000 I gave my husband was not an investment. It was faith in a dream. The returns came to India, not to me.
What was supposed to be altruism is just common egotism. We can be satisfied, but our satisfaction should be produced not by our actions but rather by the benefits accruing to those we help.
We have always known that our lives have been blessed by God beyond anything we deserved. As custodians of what He has provided, we are called to share our resources with those around us who lack the same resources.
What Zoe and I have been very much focused on is making sure the money goes to those projects and charities who have a model which is proven, where there are going to be multipliers accrued from the donations.
Money you cannot share is not really wealth. I want ours to reach young creators.
