Who You Are and What You Give


Who You Are, or What You Give?

When writing, expressive yourself, or just being you, it’s not so important as to what you are or think you are, what is important is What You Give to Others.

You can have a low self-esteem, you can have a bad day, you can be a pain in the ass at times.  But, the answer to getting more out of your life, stems from the amount of life that you give to others.

What do you give?  Do you stop, look around, realize what you have or what you’ve done that is so amazing, and then tell yourself, “you know what, what I do or did is pretty cool, and I bet someone could gain a little something from this”?  Do you ever stop and do that?

I say stop, stop being such a selfish, insecure pudderhead, and just share because life is interesting, people are interesting, doing unusual things is interesting.  And quite possibly, if not quite probably, you’re going to inspire someone.

One catch, don’t dominate the conversation.  Yeah, you must listen too.  In fact, if you’re the type that thinks your so damned interesting that you dominate all social and business settings, then this article is not for you.  You, yes you, need to listen.  But that’s a whole other story.

For now my friends, share, share what you’ve done and who you are.  Trust me, we can learn from your stories.  Tell us a story.  We love stories.  We laugh at your inequities.  We get comfort in knowing that you screwed up, or that you learned something.

So share my colleagues, share your stuff, and live!!!
