I’m lucky to be where I am in life right now. I have many projects that have potential to make a lot of money. I have a very supportive girlfriend, a roof over my head and a great network of friends that I can rely on and they are there to give me advice and assistance in life. I achieved this from one of the first things you learn as a child; sharing. Not enough people share these days and it’s not considered sharing if you want something in return or equal value. The idea that I give someone a quarter today and expect a dollar next week is how banks were founded and would you consider your bank a “friend”? Exactly. Sharing has benefited me indirectly for a long time now and I still feel that no one is sharing enough.<\/p>\n
Today, don’t give away things but share a bit. Share your time to listen to a friend who is having a problem with their job. Share your sandwich with a significant other, share an experience you had on your blog or share a photo with the world on Flickr. Share something today and you’ll feel pretty good. I share things every day in person and via the web and I’m happier because of it.<\/p>\n
What will you share? Put it in the comments and maybe I’ll share something with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I’m lucky to be where I am in life right now.
