Get more than getting

There is much more to life than strategizing how to get stuff from people. There is much more to life than hustling for attention. There is much more to life than competing for limited resources.

The “more” is fulfillment and happiness, which comes from contribution. Contribution and making a living are not only not mutually exclusive, but the feeling of genuinely living also comes from contributing.

In a world full of strategy, hustle, and competition, I feel more drawn to give my energy to things that give me life, not aim to take it from me, and I know I am not alone. We are at a moment where we can make a living by making a difference, not only for others but also for ourselves, through sharing our hearts and gifts.

What would you need to be willing to trade in to receive the upgrade to a new kind of more?
