And here's what happens.

When you give, even if you have very little or nothing, if you give a dollar, everyone could give a dollar, even if you don't know where your rent is coming from next.

If you give a dollar, it signals to yourself that, sure enough, in this very moment, I did have excess.

And excess, by definition, is abundance.

And if I have excess and abundance now, well, then I am not in as bad of a situation as I think I'm in.

And I could probably find a way to manufacture or create more excess or abundance so I can get this dopamine hit again.

Heather, when you do things for other people, you are willing to run through a wall much further, faster, tougher than when you do it for yourself.

Right.

Like, have you ever tried to stick to something for yourself?

You let yourself off the hook or like, oh, I'm going to do this diet now or I'm going to do this new habit now.

And you kind of let yourself off the hook.

But when you do it for somebody else, you show up big.

And that's because intuitively we were designed to show up for other people.

That's how the world is supposed to work.

So why not leverage that?

Why not feed off those dopamine hits?

make the world a better place.

And then in return, because you're feeling good, you're doing good.

I'll share a really quick example that makes it really tangible.

I've got a friend, his name is Steve.
