More on Giving
“The greatest joy comes from giving and serving, so replace your habit of focusing exclusively on yourself and what's in it for you.

“Is there any real purpose in being alive if all we are going to do is get up every day and live only for ourselves? Live your life to help others. Give & live selflessly.”
