About a decade ago I sent a hand-written note to all the folks who owed me money post loan. The note was simple. “ Please consider your loan paid in full. “Pay it forward” when / if you can. As I tossed the letters in the mailbox I envisioned us all being set-free. Made life so much more the better — at least for me.
Going forward, when asked for financial assistance I offer a proven method to slowly dig themselves out as well as provide future ongoing financial support. Those who accept my offer now enjoy both a debt-free life combined with adequate funding to do what they feel called to do (versus a j.o.b.).
Teach em how to fish and we feed them for a lifetime — true?
