Breaking Paradigms Chapter 7 - WHEN GENEROSITY MUST BE INTELLIGENT? "FIRST PRIORITIZE TO HELP YOURSELF TO BE ABLE TO HELP OTHERS"

What I mean is:

"FIRST PRIORITIZE TO HELP YOURSELF TO BE ABLE TO HELP OTHERS"

I know this may sound selfish but it is not and I say this because I often see people helping others not having the conditions for it. They help only because of the sense of guilt that generous people have in their hearts and they feel guilty in saying SORRY BUT "NOW I CAN'T"

I'll give a classic example of this.

Everyone here must know the history of the Andes survivors.

The plane was carrying a football team and collided on the mountain in the Andes, many passengers died but some survived.

I'm not going to tell you all about the story here because you can watch the movie.

But in that situation they had very little supply to survive but they survived because they made the right decision. And what was it?

Suppose we were in the same situation and we have 10 survivors but we have 10 chocolate bars and 10 gallons of water.

We would have 2 options:

1 - Divide equally among the 10 that would give 1 for each person and wait for help, but remember that this would be little supply to risk until a rescue team arrives.

2 - We can choose 2 people and give half of the supplies to them and ration what remains among us that we will wait for them to find help. Why that? Because if we have the capacity and see who are the least injured, stronger and leaders who do not want to run the risk of waiting for a rescue team because they understand that with the equal division of supplies will all die until the rescue team finds the plane .

I would not hesitate to choose option 2.

It was the same decision of the leaders of the survivors of the history of the Andes.

The survivors gave almost the entire supply to 2 leaders to find help and because of that decision a person found a village and gave the coordinates to where the rescue should go to rescue the other survivors.

If they had not made that decision everyone would have died because they would never be found.

What I mean is that you have to be strong enough to be able to help the maximum of people and that is not selfishness.

I can say that this is having the ability to see ahead and know that you will be strong to be much more generous.

I will not be talking about people I've helped, but many times I've often paid the hypermarket bill because I saw that they didn't have the money to buy the basic items they needed among many other generous attitudes on my journey.

I hope you have understood the message in a positive way because I can give it to everyone that when we think of becoming stronger financially with the generous spirit it is a fuel for us to reach our goal faster.
