I can't remember the exact wording used, but it was about how people often say "thank you", unknowingly as a way to relieve a sense of indebtedness to having been given something of value...
While it may be honourable to express gratitude for such gifts - leaving it at a simple thank you may actually be a DISHONOR, for the gift was not meant to be received and the debt payed back to the giver, but to be paid forward...
The guy stated very bluntly: "Don't say thank you. Take what you need, and pass on the rest."
I really gotta dig to find his exact words and put out a story on it, cuz it's fucking profound. (A buddy of mine thinks the guy might be Satoshi Nakamoto, lol).
But the essence of it: don't feel an obligation to say thanks. If you're grateful, DO SOMETHING with what you've taken away from it that makes a difference for someone else and inspires them to create more value for others.
Inspiration don't mean shit if we aren't putting it into action to serve others. Truth is impotent until it's consistently acted upon with integrity.
I do appreciate the feedback. Putting out such a post definitely made me uncomfortable, but reading it has such an impact on people is reassurance to keep it up because it just might be making a difference. NOW - go pay it forward... 😊
Wow, I didn't expect such a wonderful response as this. Thanks for the feedback and sharing the story—it's profound. I will definitely start taking action and will pay it forward :)
Your welcome, and thanks for the feedback.
And, this feels like a good opportunity to pass along some words that made a REAL impact on me a few months ago - (while in a crazy breakdown experience I wrote a good story about here)...
