The hidden power of a gift
I just love reading Seth Godin’s short blog posts. Here’s one that arrived in my email box today…
If I give you something, or way more than you paid for, an imbalance is created. That imbalance must be resolved.
As you can tell by this exerpt, this blog post is about giving, which has always been a big priority in my life thanks to my parents who are perpetual givers of their time and money and taught me those values. I can’t tell you how many times I heard “Many hands make light work” or “What goes around, comes around” growing up!
Then as I got older, Zig Ziglar’s quote…
You Can Only Get What You Want, If You Help Enough Other People Get What They Want
really resonated with me and is one of my favourite quotes.
As usual, Seth looks at giving in a totally different way, and as usual it makes total sense. Check out Seth’s Blog: The hidden power of a gift. It’s an awesome read.
