Love this notion... So many people are struggling to find a way to find meaning in a life where most of their job is unfulfilling. But by committing to effective giving, you can transform things that seem monotonous or pointless into the means to save lives, reduce suffering, etc. 

I think that it is a perspective that I need to take to heart because one of the difficulties I have with my day job is that I would much rather be spending time with the org that I run. But by doing my day job, I support myself - it would be hard to do my nonprofit work without my own food and lodging-  and can fund, to some extent, the nonprofit that I run.
