Walking down the street today I
heard a man repeating this mantra to all those who passed by him: “Have you
helped someone today besides yourself?”. He was trying to raise money. For his
cause. But it got me thinking about giving. You need to give to get. Giving
does begin the receiving process.
Give support to get it. Give
praise to receive it. Give your best to attract it. Give more respect to
experience it. And give more love to become beloved. (Powerful thought: If you
make five people feel better about themselves each day, by the end of one year
you will single handedly have elevated the lives of nearly 2,000 people.
Continue this practice and – after a decade – you’ll have positively impacted
20,000 people. Factor in the number of people that those you touch, in turn,
influence and you’ll quickly realize that your “little daily gestures of inspiration”
can end up helping hundreds of thousands of human beings over the course of
your life time).
Give to get. Nice refrain. And
so staggeringly simple (as the truest ideas are). All about servant leadership.
Help others reach world class. And they’ll joyfully help you get to your
cherished ideals.
“You need to give to get. Giving does begin the receiving
process”
