be more giving

i need to give more time energy gifts etc

Giving more is something I focus on. While it is not always easy to give it is something that always makes me happier in the end.

........like others i used to be more selfish and the hater type ((just a liitle)) and for a couple of years now i find myself a caring, friendly, and humble guy who cares about donating and our planet 4 sum reason….and i like it!!!

....btw watch planet earth on discovery channel….lets make a difference..interesting/entert.. show

I accepted the role of being a Godfather. This will require me to give of myself both in terms of time and money. I know that in the immediate future it won’t be much time except for making the trip to Chicago but in a few yrs I am expected to be there for her. I decided today to open up a 529 plan for her education. I know sometimes it’s a bummer not to receive anything instantly but when you reach that point then you will appreciate having the funds. I am looking forward to the challenge of being able to influence her life for the better!

I used to be rather greedy, but now i find i give alot more to friends and to pretty much everything i do now. Giving rocks, except when your totally broke :P

I haven’t really been thinking about this goal so it’s hard for me to determine where I stand. I know I have to do a better job about giving and forget about me! For one reason or another, a while back I felt I was the one being ignored and I am not sure why. It’s no reason not to give and I really need to do that. So I’ll try to monitor this one a bit more closely.

and they were raising money for Oxfam. I wanted to donate but I don’t have a credit card, but I went into the Oxfam shop today and donated there.

to the Salvation Army today. I should give to more charities.

i am a selfish person sometimes. i expect a lot from people. i expect even more from myself. i want to be in love with loving, giving and caring.

I think this goal goes along the lines of being more thoughtful as well. Sometimes I would be willing to give more if only I thought it of or if I thought of someone. I am trying hard to put myself in other people’s shoes/heads so I am constantly thinking of other people and their needs. I have a friend, Asami, who gives more of herself than anyone I know. She is someone to look up to when it comes to giving and she inspired me to be more like her and inspired me to have this goal!
