I have never seen or met an enlightened niggard. It’s just not possible.  A truly successful folk doesn’t need to acquire before he or she gives without expecting anything in return. You don’t have to be extremely wealthy to be able to give. You can give and help others in need from the little you have. It doesn’t even have to be material things always; it could be prayers, love, or even useful information. A giver is a success because giving is what life is all about. So if without having much you are still able to give, how much more can you give with a lot at your disposal? True success is in giving.

When I say "what I would hope people would expect from me" I'm also assuming that I'm properly setting people's expectations. Of course!

One more little comment before letting you and your readers get back to regular business. Actually, this one is my effort at winning a prize for the most preposterous, useless, and bovine bits of wisdom ever authored in the Americas. (But true). Please send me a coffee and donut coupon if I win. Here we go. Imagine two libraries. One is filled with everything known to Man about "how to find a soul mate". The other contains everything known to Man about "how to find an authentically successful life". I suggest these two puzzles are actually one and the same. But here's the thing. Contrary to common sense, learning everything in both libraries will not increase your chances of solving either puzzle. Ciao Jonathan. Oh yes. Last thing. Having read maybe a hundred blogs authored by people trying to help us all improve our lives......yours for sure is as genuine as they come and consistently packed with original and useful content. I've sent out subscriptions to the Newsletter to many people because of it. I read it all the time and profit. JBD Absolutely Jonathan.

Could it be that you are more balanced than you give yourself credit for? Hi Sandra, you seem to at ease with your life and that is often a sign of synergy.
