If you are more fortunate than others, build a longer table -- not a taller fence!
A longer table signifies hospitality, sharing, mentoring, and welcoming others while
a taller fence represents segregation, isolation, fear, and guarding your success so that others cannot reach it.
If you are blessed with success, lift others up and use your advantages to help people move forward.
Industrialist Andrew Carnegie used his massive success to help others by challenging author Napoleon Hill to study hundreds of successful people. This partnership led to Hill writing Think and Grow Rich, which has helped millions of readers achieve their own professional goals.
True giving is selfless and should come from a place of love and compassion for others, never expecting anything in return!
The Bible has a lot to say about giving: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. - 2 Corinthians 9:6
Constantly look for ways to give selflessly to those in need, whether it's through donating your time, your resources, or your talents. Remember, making room at your table can bring joy and fulfillment to your life as well as there.
The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.
REMEMBER . . . ALWAYS BUILD A LONGER TABLE!
