yes, I agree and it's why "actions speak louder than words" is simple and effective to live by

I agree. You could call it Karma Yoga - doing work without attaching to the results. It took me some maturing to start practicing that as well.

I agree. I have a had a similar journey in that sense. I am now looking for ways to give back every way I can and connect. 

As a younger person I had a pretty materialist and nihilistic views on spirituality.

As I grew up life became a lot more "real" and paradoxically it made me do a complete 180 on the immaterial. This spiritual change of heart also made me do a lot more "real" material things like volunteering.

I think that interaction between immaterial thoughts and beliefs turning into material actions is a key factor in understanding spirituality.
