TRULY GIVING

You give but little when you give of your possessions.  It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

REFLECTION:

  • Do you give things to people?  Examine your motives.
  • Can you give more of yourself to others…. truly give?
  • What does this kind of giving look like?
  • Apply these insights.

MEANING AND PURPOSE

The meaning of your life is to find your gift.

The purpose of your life is to give it away.

Quote by Chip Conley

In 1987, Conley founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality, where he held the position of CEO for nearly 24 years, creating and managing around 50 boutique hotels. In 2013, Conley became Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy for Airbnb. In 2018, he founded the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), the world’s first “midlife wisdom school” in Baja California Sur. In 2021, Modern Elder Academy acquired Saddleback Ranch in Northern New Mexico and set out to grow a collection of MEA Regenerative Communities.
