To some degree we all live in our own little worlds and rule our universes from the great throne of our hearts. Some of us are gracious rulers who allow others in and are not afraid to share what we’ve been given, others prefer to rule with an iron fist and seclude themselves behind high walls that few, if any, can penetrate.
So, be honest for a moment; which ruler are you? Ok Al, what’s with all the philosophy today? Well, I’m embarking on a journey of becoming more generous person. Now, I’m certainly not suggesting you take all your hard earned cash and throw it out the window as you drive passed those sleeping on the streets, I’m talking about sharing your wisdom, your life experiences or giving of your time to enhance someone else’s life, someone less fortunate perhaps. I figured it’s time to give myself away. It’s so easy holding on to your own dreams and desires and making sure your own kingdom succeeds, sometimes at the expense of someone else’s.
There is a saying… Actually, a Bible verse which says:
“What you sow, you’ll reap”
Well, how on Earth will I reap success if I don’t bother to improve someone else’s kingdom and help them to make a success out of theirs?
So, the challenge is out there – I dare you to get off your throne for a while and help someone else reach their dream today. Trust me, the reward will be great, it really is better to give than to receive!
