What do you expect from your profession, from your relationships, your marriage, your kids or even your Steemit Journey?
We as humans beings tend in most cases to seek what is good for ourself in the first place.
And often it's not eval meant because you also have goals you want to achieve and you have responsibilities.
You have to take care of many things. I totally understand you.
But if you let this attitude become your lifestyle then I will that you did not understand how life works.
Often I got the feeling when I am talking with others that they believe that if they focus on giving, they will lose something. I have to collect not to give away.
When I give my energy, my knowledge, my kindness, my love I am the one who loses.
And that's the problem!
The illusion we would lose something essential for our life if we don't live the "take it now" lifestyle.
That could be one reason why so many people don't get to the point where they want to be. If they see an opportunity they take it immediately without thinking for the long run.
Don't get me wrong. Sometimes there are opportunities in life you have to take. They are only coming once.
I know that. That's why I can't generalize what I am talking about. Please have this in mind. It depends on many factors, and every life is individual.
BUT! I am not talking from a one-time thing.
I am not talking from a point decision you have to make. To take or to wait and to give more of what you can. But I am sure for one thing. Or let me tell you what I believe; they way up are going through serving.
Look where you are now?
To be there to do the profession you are doing, you need first to give something. To give, to invest your strength and energy to learn something you want to do later without receiving anything at the exact same moment!
We all understand that because yes, it's for us.
We are giving for us, not for someone else. You are serving yourself. Remember as I wrote about the best investment is in yourself? Correct, but not that only you can profit. No, so that other can also profit from you.
Don't you see that you have to give first to receive later even it is for you?
Look the results you made happen by serving yourself. Maybe they are amazing. I hope so. But its only you. One Person.
Now think about what the results could look like when you serve more than yourself. I think we all get that now. I don't say that I will definitely, I just want to invite you to think about it.
Why not transform it to other parts of your life, to other stages of life?
Also right now you have a profession, or maybe you are going to school, and you are also on Steemit. Why not doing the same here?
Not only here, but also in other areas of your life?
Give first! Give more of yourself instead of only thinking what and how can I receive fast.
What could you give to this community, what can you give to your marriage to your friends, to your workmate, without thinking to get a reward immediately?
I believe giving has a high return on investment in the long run.
I truly believe that. It may look like that other people don't see it, but I say to you, they will and they will appreciate and it will come back.
Not today, not tomorrow I don't know the exact date, but it will come back.
Thanks for reading.
The long run indeed, no other run. As i just saw in another post. He is sitting in the shadow because he planted a tree long time ago.
Great comment. Thanks for sharing it.
Another good one always spot on and usually things that people always need to be aware of and checking themselves. Its something that is not taught enough is get your foot in the door, be at the bottom, serve whenever possible cause all these will lead to something more or greater. These are subjects that could open up great discussions.
Great! Exactly, this should be taught more often. But first people have to see the value in it. And this is often not the case.
Yeah your right! you know this ties well with the post you did on developing character.
Thanks for the great post @modernpastor. Yes , we should give first in every sphere of our life.
Thanks for you comment :)7

Thanks my friend.
I love this guy. I like his Posts he is a big inspiration for many users here.
To answer your questions: Honestly no^^. As I saw this style in his post I was thinking: He is doing it like I wanted to. I had this already in mind. :)
I have also one question.
How can it be that you are every time so fast?
Always give it your all, step up to the situation and take it head on like a boss. Success will be inevitable.
Your neigbhour, @cryptonewz

There is an arabic proverb, I don't think the translation will give its meaning 100% but I think the meaning still can be understood. It says: "The more you share wealth the more it grows!"
Awesome! Thank for sharing it :)

Ein sehr toller Artikel und eine super Ergänzung zu meinem über Steemit, find ich.
Viele Menschen leben leider im Verlust und merken gar nicht, was sie dadurch wirklich verlieren.
