Difficult to Do

One of the hardest things for me to do right now is apply the following principle from my mentor: "Give 100% of yourself and expect nothing in return and you will never be disappointed." Wow, that's a difficult principle to apply! Go ahead, try it! Another really difficult principle to apply is, "Do not expect gratitude for things you do for others." If you expect gratitude and you don't get it, you are robbing yourself of the joy of giving. That thought and lesson is from another book I am reading, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie.
