I don\u2019t consider the value of what I receive based on how much something costs but rather on how well something reflects what I care about or based on our shared history. When it comes to giving, my satisfaction from the experience is boosted by how much what I give reflects my best or whether I can contribute something that makes a positive difference. I am grateful to be able to give something that\u2019s needed, happy when I can contribute something that reflects something I\u2019m good at. Think of five things that you can offer that reflects your best gifts or your best understanding of how you can help.
