Young people, when they're left alone, always want to have compassion, and they always want to give. They always want to help people who are less fortunate.
successful giving mind
A more happy mind leads to quietness and clarity. And that clarity helps you have a greater capacity to do more and to become more successful and more giving.
giving people charity
I want to do and I'm giving all the profits to charity, is to teach people to meditate. All it takes is a little bit of patience.

Quit taking, start giving.
team years giving
There was a moment when I was watching Martin Lawrence and Will Smith in 'Badboys' that I felt, you know, inspired. I don't know if I was proud, because so many people do the work. Everyone's part of a team that develops over the years and gives people chances. There have been some good moments watching people develop.
past giving important
The past gives great examples of what can happen in the future. It's always important to remember.
giving causes critical
As I get, I give. Giving as you get is critical. It has everything to do with being happy for yourself, and making others happy is the cause of making yourself happy, and it’s the cycle of giving and getting.
giving culture pop-culture
They're lacking culture in Hollywood. That gives me a big up, right? I know something about pop culture.
heart gay giving
In my heart, I know that marriage equality for every human being isn't a question of if, but only a matter of when. I ask those who feel that giving freedom to others somehow binds you, to please take a good look at what you are standing behind
karma giving world
If you give a good thing to the world, then over time your karma will be good, and you'll receive good.
success giving-up business
You know, sometimes people never get to learn how successful they could have been because they give up too easily. If I've learned one thing in all my years in the business, it's that often things don't work out the way you want at first. But that doesn't mean you should give up.
giving soul purpose
Your purpose is to act on the resources God gives you. If God gives you a bucket of fish, you have to distribute those fish. If you don't, they're going to rot, attract a bunch of flies, and start stinking up your soul.
stay-strong make-others-happy giving
Give what you want to receive. If you want happiness, make others happy.
successful giving want
If you wake up deciding what you want to give versus what you're going to get, you become a more successful person. In other words, if you want to make money, you have to help someone else make money.
