COT:
– In a world driven by taking—taking credit, taking more than we need—there’s something radical about giving it away.
– It’s not weakness; it’s power. It’s choosing to believe that there’s enough, that we are enough, and that by passing along what we’ve learned, built, or been given, we actually create more. More connection. More trust. More progress.
– The Red Hot Chili Peppers said it best: “Give it away, give it away, give it away now.” That’s not just a chorus—it’s a call to action. If you’ve made something great, leave the door open behind you. If you’ve figured something out, teach it. If you’ve been helped, help the next. Giving it away isn’t losing whatever it is —it’s planting seeds for the future.
– So ask yourself: What can I give away today to make it easier for the person who comes after me? I realize I don’t want to be a miser
Confide with Sly, you’ll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin’ upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like a Kaiser?
