A woman once told me, “If you won’t share your hotdog, you won’t share your steak.”
That phrase really struck me. Much like when we hear someone talk about how generous they would be if they won the lottery. There are many form of this “If I had a lot of money, then I would be generous’ attitude” and it is far to prevalent in our thinking. It highlights the trap of waiting to become what you want to be until the circumstances make it easier. What is the good of only being able to be generous when you have more than you need yourself ?
If you want to be a generous and giving person, the time to be that person is NOW. Share your hotdog, so that when you’re in a position to have steak on your plate you’ll have already cultivated the attitude and habit of sharing.
Practice Sharing Now – it’s something you can better and better at.
