A giving mind is a joy forever

Let's play it forward.

At first I planned to write something about how I devoted one week of my working time to charity. But I couldn't get the message out of my pen. As I felt it's nothing to brag about, and it shouldn't be about me. The real thing I'd like to share is:

  • Everybody has their story and struggles. Albeit some of us more (physically) visible.
  • Everybody has something to bring into the mix. Time, money, network, talent and, perhaps most importantly, presence.
  • Contributing your something is a choice. Big or small, already a warm smile or a thank you can go for miles.
  • It's an everyday attitude. Not just this one week a year.
Everybody has something to bring into the mix.

Jim, Elke, Emma and all others: thank you for sharing the blast and learning about life while spending an incredible time on the slopes. Take care, together. Shall we? Let's play it forward.

Ps: do you love the mountains and like to contribute your magic to something extremely meaningful and fun? Go and check out the Mentelity Games of the Mentelity Foundation.
