Attracting Outcomes
Several of the private forums I frequent are peopled by some of the most giving, helpful folk on the Net. Or so it seems.
I sometimes wonder how they ever get any work done, they spend so much time offering advice and the benefits of experience to those with a challenge.
It's also pleasing to see that their giving is not taken for granted by many.
One such giver was recently taken to task by a person who has suddenly appeared on the board asking a lot of hard questions. He patiently gave advice which sounded excellent to me - but got her nose out of joint something terrible.
She responded by telling him not to 'help' her any more. To which he agreed!
Another giver was asked to give even more.
In both cases, other members jumped to the defence of the givers in amazing numbers and support. It ws truly heart-warming stuff the way they defended and supported those they knew to be givers.
We may doubt ist sometimes, but examples like that do show that what goes around does come around!
