Give more than you take..

Give more than you take... what exactly does that mean to you? Does that mean give when it feels right? Give when you get some recognition? Give when it fits in your schedule, your comfort zone?
That isn't what it is supposed to mean, but seems to be the way we take it.
I have heard this statement over and over, but have I lived it? Not really. I'm trying to decide what it means for me, what changes I need to make in my life to make this statement real.
I'm sure most people think that I'm a busy body, always have something that I'm doing, some party I'm throwing, some cause I'm hot on for the moment, or some way I'm trying to get people to donate for something. But I feel that if you think I'm doing too much, or trying to do too much, you probably aren't doing enough!
How can you live your life to its fullest and still feel like you gave back? Enjoy life but help others? This is going to be different for everyone. For some they just want to write a check and forget about it, one amount every month and they feel good. Some want to donate their time instead of money. Others want to donate everything they have and still not think its enough. Are any of those wrong? Not in my eyes, because you have to start somewhere, we can't all expect to be in the same place to give, have the time, the money and the willingness.
How about we just start with willingness, dreams, and passion and see where that takes us. I have been searching for my purpose in life for a while now. Trying to find your passion first, that will end up driving your purpose. Sometimes we look right over it. So be busy, try to help more, but in everything you do, stop and think about what it is, how it makes you feel and if you want to do more.
Don't be afraid to question what your doing, make changes that lead to your purpose, don't try and make your purpose change to fit your life. Let God lead it, he has a divine plan for our lives, we just have to figure out what that is and do it!
