Spirit Of Giving
Thursday, July 29th, 2010“For it is in giving that we receive.” St. Francis of Assisi
What is it that we don’t get about this concept? I definitely include myself in the previous “we”. Why is it that we don’t give more? The greatest minds in history agree on the simple principle.
“For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.” Antoine De Saint-Exupery
I, personally, have proven this over and over in my life, but still don’t do it enough. Often, walking the streets of New York, I stop and hand a beggar a twenty. I like to give twenties because I know it can really make an impact on a life.
