stand-out

You are not judged by what you have but rather by what you give.
-Brian Sullivan

Are you rich? And if so, how do you define rich? Is rich determined by the type of car you drive or the watch you wear? While there are many interpretations of the word “rich,” remember that your value is not determined by what you have but instead by what you give. So if you want to become richer than you are right now, all you have to do is give more of your time, talent and treasure to others.

So this week, take 15 minutes to make a list that contains at least these three categories: Work, Community/Church, Home.  Then under each column, list your special talents that you can offer in a greater way. Then go put those talents to work. It might mean taking on an additional project at work, perhaps volunteering to help coach a kid’s team, or maybe skipping that fancy dinner and giving a few extra bucks to a charity in need. Whatever your “give” is, just remember that each time you give of yourself, you are making a deposit in your own account. And as that account fattens, you grow richer everyday.
