Much of what
we think we see
is only that

:- Doug.

Seek first to give
See the giving all about

:- Doug.

There is another way to look at work and it might be closer than our common way to the really real. Rather than as an exchange of labor or services or goods for money, we can see we are doing good for one or more others. They are doing so too, but not in return. All, taking care for those in their ambit, are taking care for all.

What holds us back from seeing this, and from being freed into the larger possibilities it opens, is simply our mental constructs. We see a narrow world of exchanges, I buy this from you and you give only that for which you are paid lucre.

We could be doing heart-work. We could be meeting needs and even wants and sharing in the real cornucopia in front of our faces.

:- Doug.

The most valuable thing I have I give freely: Doug’s compassion. If you will, how will you respond?

:- Doug.

You seek jobs. Ask yourself, is it out of neediness or creativity?

:- Doug.
