The Golden Ladder

Today I would like to share some thoughts on giving/generosity.

These are saying that I have discovered as I learn and increase my personal growth.

” In charity there is no excess ”

To me this is such a simple way to describe where my head space should be when I am thinking about giving.

Giving When it Counts

One of the biggest discoveries that I have discovered on my road of personal growth is that you’ve got to give to get.

Here is a story that highlights the power of giving.

“Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.

Always remember those who serve you

I would like to continue on with another example that I have come across which teaches the lessons that life can share and that we can learn and grow from.

One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African-American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.

Implications of what…

Today as part of my personal growth and self development I have decided to do some brain exercises.
Sometimes I find it’s not just enough to listen or read but that I actually need to take the time to think about what I am studying. So I’d like to share with you the situation that I am exercising by thinking about.

Would you consider a person lucky if they worked at their job for 20, 30 or even 40 years, carefully saving their money investing it wisely and then taking a round the world trip are retiring to a tropical paradise? Isn’t it surprising how many times you will hear people say “wow they are so lucky” when talking about someone who made the choice of “slave and save” to have the things that were important to them and that they wanted.

Maybe you’ve heard yourself saying this either inside your head arm maybe just out loud. If you have I’d like you to think about the implications of this.
