I’ve heard it a million times you’ve heard it a million times and there’s a reason for it. It’s true. It’s so much easier to give a hundred and twenty when we like what we’re doing. So why do so many of us do stuff we don’t like and expect to find satisfaction? “Don’t ask me go ask your dad.” Dr. Suess delivered the package with this one.

Usually when I find I’m not satisfied with results it’s because I’m doing something that’s expected of me. Not that something that’s expected of us can’t be satisfying, it’s the reason that makes the difference. I do x because I like it and subsequently it makes Y happy. My mind jumps for joy. I do x because it’s what Y wants. My mind shrivels flaccid and wrinkled.

We get more when we give more. We give more when we like what we’re doing.

What’ll you give today?
