The Best Thing to Give

November 26, 2019/0 Comments/in Personal Development /by George Krueger & Mary-Lynn Foster

Discover the best thing to give to your enemy, your opponent, your friend, your child, your father, your mother, yourself, and to all mankind.

We discussed giving on this episode of The BIGG Success Show podcast. Here’s a summary of that discussion.

Happy Thanksgiving! Not only is it a wonderful day for family, food, and fun – it also kicks off the most wonderful time of the year, as originally sung by Andy Williams

Thanksgiving is often considered a selfless act. Of course, when done right, it is. It is often thought of as self-reflective. It’s passive. No – Thanksgiving is active. Even when your body is still, your mind is in motion. It creates an emotion.

That is why, according to a study, people who practice thankfulness are more likely to achieve their goals. Further, research shows that giving benefits both the giver and the receiver!

So, it seems only natural for us to discuss thanks and giving!

We discussed sixteen motivations for happiness on The BIGG Success Show. Here’s a summary of that discussion.

This show was inspired by the book, Who Am I? The 16 Basic Desires That Motivate Our Actions and Define Our Personalities*. It’s written by the late great Dr. Steven Reiss.

He found that happiness and life-satisfaction come from a sense that our lives have meaning and fulfill a larger purpose. He calls this “value-based happiness.” He has identified 16 universal desires that drive all meaningful behavior.

We discussed ways we put obstacles into our own paths on The BIGG Success Show. Be sure to listen to hear some frightful things! Here’s a summary of that discussion.

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.” – Hannah More

Amongst the monsters and ghouls and ghosts, the vampires and werewolves and zombies, is a monster who stands between you and the life you really want.

We all know this monster. It’s appealing. Likable. Full of potential to do good.

But this monster can also hold us back. It can block our success. Put up obstacles needlessly. Stop us – dead in our tracks.

The Pursuit of Happyness is one of our all-time favorite movies. We share four tips from the life of a homeless-father who made millions.

On The BIGG Success Show, we talk about a homeless father who built a multi-million-dollar fortune. Here’s a summary of that discussion.

We talked recently on this show about a new way of looking at money. Ken Honda has written a fantastic book called, Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money*. Is your money happy with you?

It made us think of one of our favorite movies, The Pursuit of Happyness. It’s the true story of a once-homeless single father, Christopher Gardner (played by Will Smith) and his son, Chris Jr. (fittingly played by Will’s son, Jaden).
