Meditations on God

Being used is not the same as being of service.

If you have a generous spirit, you have to take some measures to protect it.

Generosity without boundaries is unsustainable.

Giving to people who only take will wear you down over time.

This, in turn, will make you less useful to those who actually need your help.

Be of service where and when you can, but don’t tolerate being taken advantage of.

When you sacrifice your time, energy, and attention to people or causes that don’t matter, you have less of yourself to give to the people and causes that do.
