So, I’ve now been tagged by Gen X Finance for a Six Word Memoir meme. I figured I’d participate and be a good sport, but I will say that it’s tough to try think of the most important thing or things in your life and put it into six words. So, I’m not even going to try to distill my best words of wisdom down to six words, or even try to capture the central theme of this blog in six words (if it were that simple, I wouldn’t need to keep writing everyday). So instead I’ll just give a six word thought that I believe is important among other things. And here it is:

Living is Giving, Giving is Living.

That seems pretty redundant, and it may be, but I think it’s important both ways. Whether it’s giving of your financial means, your knowledge and experience, your time, or anything else, giving to and helping others is really what makes life worth it. More important than anything we can accumulate are the people in our lives and the relationships we build with them. And there’s no better way to feel alive than by giving of whatever you have.

So there you have it. Six words (really only three) that are important to me. I believe I’m supposed to tag others with this meme, but I don’t usually do that, so if you feel so inclined to post your own six word memoir, consider yourself so tagged…
