What are you chasing right now?

“No one has ever become poor by giving.”

Anne Frank

We live in a world obsessed with getting more recognition, more followers, more “likes.” But will it matter? Early in his life, Andrew Carnegie was the same way. He was relentless in his pursuit of wealth and success. Yet, in the end, and before it was too late, he realized the joy he sought couldn’t come from hoarding but would only last through giving. So Carnegie poured his resources into libraries, schools, and community projects, leaving a legacy that far outlasted his wealth.

What you keep fades. What you give endures.

Instead of asking how much you can get today, ask yourself what you can give. What could you offer that will make a difference long after you’re gone?
