If you google that phrase you will see the picture. Whenever I notice that my excuses are starting to pile up, I stop and look around and I can always find someone who is doing more than I with less resources than I have. Why does it always seem so easy to find the excuses when there is just as much inspiration in the world?

That phrase really struck me. Much like the 'if I had a lot of money, I would be generous' attitude mentioned in the T4D and sometimes prevalent in our thinking, it highlights the trap of waiting to become what you want to be and the fallacy of a truly generous nature only when you have more than you could possibly use yourself. If you want to be a generous and giving person, the time to be that is NOW. Share your hotdog, so that when you're in a position to have steak on your plate you'll have the attitude and habit of sharing.
