The more life experience you have...the more you realize that people are either givers or takers and you aren't likely to change one to the other. Takers are blind to the benefits of giving...even for themselves and often blindly plow ahead without vision of the big picture...taking what they can get and mooooving on to the next thing.
Givers are not concerned about the return on their investment of time, money, talent....part of their energy is derived from the act of doing...not necessarily getting in return.
Sometimes you have to step back from relationships...givers have to decide if the takers are worth the effort...the time...the energy or if in the end...it just leaves the giver feeling depleted and used.....and ultimately, distrusting of the taker who only looks out for what the return is and not what can be contributed to the relationship.
You can apply this to blogging...the information you share...to every aspect of your life...and decide who you are...how you want to be known...not for what you say...but for what you do, contribute or extract from life experiences and relationships.
Would people say you are a GIVER or a TAKER ?
