But you're never stuck in the "taker" category! The way of generosity is open to all.

I've been a taker for much of my life. But, I'm learning to open up to giving. It's a slow process, but worth every step. It starts with gratitude. It starts with tiny acts of giving... whatever you can do. It's not a competition. Find gratitude for what you have and enjoy. Celebrate having enough. "Enough" itself is a liberating word.

The riches found in living free from a life focused on getting will be incomparably greater than whatever one can find by seeking to get more. I promise. There will be no regrets. Let that pursuit redefine the world around you.

Doing this, you'll be fighting the system powered by greed, and lack. It's the only way to exit the rat race. Dramatic shows of extravagant wealth will look empty and upside down, because you'll be overwhelmed by the wealth you enjoy in the people and life you've been given for free.
