Rule #13 10/27/15

Give of yourself often. 

---

It is so easy to get so wrapped up in fixing your own life that you forget about helping others. And while it’s important to put yourself first sometimes, it’s even more important to help others whenever you can. As you journey, it will be detrimental that you choose to understand that your life purpose is not just to be happy, but to be useful, to be compassionate and kind, caring and selfless, to share joy and peace in ways that will touch another deep down to the core.  You will impact thousands just in one lifetime, people whom you see daily, family, friends, even strangers will know of your love and the immeasurable value that comes from the gift of giving. Give often. ~Will “Story” Rivera
