Give. Go Ahead, Just Give . . .

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life – happiness, freedom, and peace of mind – are always attained by giving them to someone else. – Peyton C. March

Whatever we hoard withers and contracts.

Whatever we give away regenerates and expands.

The things that matter that is . . . things like happiness, freedom and peace of mind.

Find these things in you and give them to others and you’ll see that giving is generative; the more you give, the more you have.

It works, but only all the time.
