Give & Take

Oct 31, 2023
1 min read

Giving Money is easy.Giving our talent is easier.Giving our opinion is easiest of all.

However, giving our time to our own grandest dreams is often accompanied by resistance, resulting in procrastination. Similarly, allocating our “precious time” to lend a helping hand to others is also often met with resistance, resulting in a Google search for acceptable excuses.

Important because it’s not only about giving our time and money, it’s also about giving our attention, focus and energy to that which we say is worthy. Never forget: the dynamic exchange of giving and receiving are different aspects of the same flow of energy. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep that abundant energy circulating in our creative careers and personal lives.
