Hey Ryan

Yeah I think it’s really important to be aware of people trying to take advantage of you and your efforts. I believe though all you can do is keep giving and be the change you want to see in the world.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for stopping by and I’m really glad you enjoyed Ben’s post. I agree, he did a great job. The thing I find fascinating is to think about what life would be like if everyone lived by this advice. Can you imagine a world where everyone thought of others more than they did themselves? That would be pretty cool eh? And then of course, no one need worry about being taken advantage of

Great post. Giving to other people really places me in a self accomplished state. Granted I do like to receive but like you said it’s really just a quick fix to be happy. Long term happiness is earned by helping others. The only note I can really add on this wonderful article is don’t let no one take advantage of that. People tend to get used to your generosity and try to squeeze the most that they can. Other than that I really support everything you mentioned above

Have a great day!!

Hey Karen – glad your back from your Trip. Did you have a nice time?

I love that term – navel-gazing. Brilliant.

Great article, Ben. Very thought-provoking.

I can agree with this statement particularly: ” Change your focus from receiving to giving and your whole outlook on life will change.” We can navel-gaze only for so long – if only we looked externally to help and give to others, it would lift ourselves out from our funk. It’s easy to look around at realize how good and how wealthy we are, in comparison to someone else’s circumstances.

Thanks for reminding us to give, give, give.

Hey Steve.

Yeah it always nicer to look back and see that you’ve given all you can give. It’s just important that we put in place the actions now so we can look back in the future.

Hey Ben!

Nice little article, mate. Isn’t it true that if we were to look back over our lives, that the happiest and most satisfying moments are those where we were giving to someone else?

Tweeting, and buzz’ing now.
