Is your generosity helping or hurting the individual?

Even when offered with compassion, traditional charity, which should be only a temporary fix, can often enslave individuals—becoming a poverty trap—if extended into the long term. Instead of focusing on the potential, charity cheats them of using their God-given abilities and talents. Well, let's talk about it - we're right here at Christmas time and it's a wonderful opportunity to be creative in how we can really help others. Questions:  1. Hi Dan, I've been listening for years and you helped me clarify and achieve my goal of selling 500 paintings in 500 days.  2. Could you remind me how the saying goes: "If you help someone once, they're grateful. Help them twice they're ….. Help them a third time they expect it."  3. I started dabbling in eBay sales and would like to boost it up to be a full-time income. Is that possible?  Get direct links to the resources mentioned on this podcast, including my Venn diagram worksheet and The Negative Cycle of Traditional Giving in the podcast show notes at https://www.48days.com/is-your-generosity-helping-or-hurting Learn more about your ad choices.
