One cop out of doing a favor now is you never know when it will be returned.
We do it, yes, because we believe it will be returned, but there’s still the tad bit of fear it may never be or it may be repaid too far down the line.
Here’s the thing about favors. They weigh… a lot.
Once you do something for me, and four other people do something for me, that’s a lot of favors to return. It’s heavy. It’s now a priority of mine to return some to lighten the load.
If you noticed, we’re better off giving more favors than waiting for people to return ours because giving is the only way to ensure getting them sooner than later… or worse, not at all.
Stay Positive & Don’t Stand There, Don’t Stop Giving
