The more we give of ourself, the more we find ourself.

About This Quote

Giving of ourself to another person, to something, or to a cause is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Life becomes richer when you give your time, your talents, your energy, or even your money. Letting go of something that no longer serves you is difficult for some people, but it is important to let go so that you can see what you are capable of. It’s one thing to have a dream and talk about it. It’s another thing altogether to live the dream.
