105: Deserve to be a Giver

..."See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
For in truth it is life that gives unto life—while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness...."

This week, I’m reading on this poem On Giving by Khalil Gibran from The Prophet‍, published in 1923.

Reflection question:

• Are you an instrument of giving?
  
  

Reflection on quote:

What is the first action that every fund development professional should do upon taking a job? Give. Give to the organization where you work. Once we ourselves are givers, it is then we can be receivers.
