Successful People GIVE

This was something I figured out a few years ago. At the time I was thinking about joining my local Kiwanis Club, which is a philanthropic and social organization. It’s a wonderful bunch of people who get together regularly to learn about and think about and find ways to meet the needs of those less fortunate than we are. Other clubs are Rotary and the Lyons Club and I’m sure there are many others. Even if it is not through an organized club there are thousands of ways that you can GIVE.

So at the time a few years ago I had been thinking that I would wait to join Kiwanis UNTIL I became more successful at my career as an Investment Counselor. I had been putting it off for months. That was when I read something about how SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE THE MOST GIVING PEOPLE. So it occurred to me that I had the order of things wrong.

By giving you actually become more successful in your career. What goes around comes around. Sound familiar?

Now let me just point out that if you give and then immediately look around to see if your career is improving – you are not giving. That is bartering. Give to give. Give from the heart. That is when God and the Universe will make YOUR wishes come true.
