Everyone who enters the world comes in with hidden gold, it's called your natural gifts. The job of a person is to find the hidden gold and give it. It turns out that when you give it you get more than when you hold on to it, that's the economy of the soul. Michael Meade
About This Quote

When you give things, you get more than you give, and when you hold on to things, you lose more than you gain. This is the economy of the soul. The soul represents the self-worth of a person. When a person feels good about themselves, they tend to treat others better as well. In fact, they give more to others without expecting anything in return.
