The More You Give, the More You Have
One who secretly mends others' lives — when does she ever take her own happiness in hand?
The more one does for others, the more one has; the more one gives to others, the greater one's own store.
Laozi said the more one does for others the more one has, and the more one gives the greater one's store.
📝The Classic Answers
Laozi said the more one does for others the more one has, and the more one gives the greater one's store. Giving is not a loss that empties the self but the very logic that fills it. One who secretly mends others' lives is already filling herself abundantly through that sharing. Yet that hand must, in the end, reach the self as well — when courage toward others becomes courage to seize one's own happiness, giving is made whole. I choose to offer, once, to myself the same tenderness I hand to others.

If you gave someone tenderness today, hand one piece of that same tenderness to yourself as well.
