Giving: A Life Well-Lived

 

Novel: A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

If Nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open and so is your heart. And though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that—warm things, kind things, sweet things—help and comfort and laughter—and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all.


Book: Simple Truths by Kent Nerburn

A fourth guideline to keep in mind is that money comes and goes. You must not be immobilized by the fear of losing it. 

No matter how you choose to deal with money, you need to keep one basic truth before you at all times: Money is nothing more than a commodity, an agreed-upon abstraction of exchange. It is the spirit of that exchange that animates money and gives it meaning. Great givers, rich and poor, use money to bring light into this world. Great hoarders, rich and poor, use money to close doors between us all. Be a giver and a sharer. In some unexpected and unforeseeable fashion, all else will take care of itself.
