Giving Boomerangs.

Hello,

I'm back!

Past three days and two nights

in a far flung camp,

packed with an

 interesting assortment of youths

and

paradigm-shifting programme sessions

have been

enjoyable

and

nourishing.

It is one thing

to exchange

time 

with

money 

to

benefit yourself.

It's another

to exchange 

time 

with

giving what you have

to

 benefit

 others

and

ultimately 

yourself.

Investing, 

or giving time 

to love, teach and inspire

others

has

a magical

boomerang effect!

Once

you've experienced it,

you'll want

to keep

throwing your love forward.

Serving with my peers

in the camp committee leadership

has reinforced

the truth about

living a purposeful life -

when you pace

somebody 

in his growth,

you grow too.

The sense of fulfillment

is indescribable

when you

see people benefit

because of what

you've given.

Watching the youths

grow

has been worth

uncountable hours of pre-camp meetings,

sleepless nights

 [due to over-excitement of visualizing the written plans become reality in the camp]

and

slimy bathrooms at

the camp site.

Just as I was

about to slump off in bed

when I got home

exhausted but

still ecstatic with camp memories

fresh in my mind,

I got a call and offer

for a new documentary writing project

which will take my career to a

new level.

When you build other's lives,

Daddy will build yours.

Never have to worry

 you'll be shortchanged

because

those

 who choose 

to give

are

promised 

to be remembered

and

given more than 

they could

achieve

 on their own.
