Live to Give
1. Stretch Yourself- While the best way to get what you want is to give what you can, the real point is to give because it is the right thing to do. When you live your best life, you do the things you are great at, and get the best results. These results benefit you, but they also benefit others and the world around you, and that is the reason to do it. And you will give the most simply by
being your very best and by living your ultimate life.
2. Make a Difference - The easiest and quickest way to feel better and become happier is to help someone. Amazingly, we have also learned that the best way to get things you want into your life is to start giving. When you do this, you create value with your life and get good things in return. To start or expand the flow of abundance into your life, simply start making a difference every day in every little way you can.
3. Receive Gracefully - One of the hardest things for people to deal with when they start living their dreams is that they are uncomfortable receiving the new and wonderful
things that come into their lives. They may not feel worthy, or it may just be uncomfortable for them. So, when opportunity knocks or people want to help them, they shut the door and don’t let the good things in. These gifts will give you new energy and power to do more and help more in your own life. By not receiving gracefully, you cut off the cycle of giving and limit your own potential.
4. Leave a Legacy - The only thing of significance any of us leave behind is the impact we had on others and the world. The true meaning of your life happens when it transcends and becomes greater than you as a person. To leave a legacy, find your passion, then orient your life around the legacy you want to leave. Make your life transcend you.
