Seasons change (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) and each season brings new opportunity. Can you sense the "shift"? We are in a new season! If you are like me, you are probably tired of all the media talk and "spin" about the "state of the economy" - one day inflation, the next day recession -- and the remix of the Great Depression!
I believe this "state" to be optional and I opt not to participate. If you look back in history, it was during challenging times that insightful and resourceful people found incredible opportunity and took advantage of it. It's a New Season!
It has been said for centuries that you must be a "Go-Getter" to be successful. I am all for it! However, when being a "Go-Getter" is for one's own selfish desire for --- or pursuit of money, wealth, power or possessions -- especially when this denies the same good to others -- the tangible result is greed. Greed is what led to and leading to the fall of many one-time great Corporations and the imprisonment of their CEO's, CFO's and anyone else that thought "titles" were important in our generation.
It's a New Season and time for a change - instead of being a "Go-Getter"; consider the amazing feeling and powerful results of being a "Go-Giver"!
This is a great time in life if you know how to use it. Now is the time to reclaim history and to return to the foundational true reason for being. Be on Purpose! Be a "Go-Giver"!
Offer help to others and never take advantage of them. It is not what you get, it is what you give that returns the most. Give more than you get. Give more than expected. The more you help others, the more you will prosper in all areas of life. For it is written - Give and is shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom.
It takes more energy to "get" than it does to "give" because in "getting" you are continuously challenged with the next step it takes to "get" and the cost to "get" it!
In "giving" you are always presented with opportunities to give -- it cost you less and returns so much more! Giving is a foundational truth. Like gravity, its promise is to work for everyone.
Be on Purpose! Be a "Go-Giver"!
