Unexpected Dividends

I was going through my mail this am and this letter caught my eye. I subscribed to this substack at some point based on something that caught my eye some time ago that I do not remeber at this time, perhgaps I will be reminded later, Nevertheless, I have discovered a wonderful letter, which is rather inspiring and I am going to link it here so it is not forgotten or lost for ever.

The Unexpected Dividend

Here is something I did not anticipate: hobbies can become livelihoods. The person who knits can sell their work. The one who throws pottery can open a shop. The baker can start a business. The coder can freelance. The writer can publish. Skills cultivated in private hours, for no reason other than love of the craft, become valuable in ways that corporate ladders and resume-building never promised.

** True Riches Are Measured by Service
------------------------------------------------------------

The wealthiest individuals are not always those with the largest bank accounts, but those who give the most in meaningful service to others. Financial success is only one dimension of a full life. True prosperity includes health, purpose, professional challenge, and the knowledge that your efforts are improving the lives of those around you.

Serving others is not always easy. In a world shaped by skepticism and self-interest, good intentions are often questioned. Trust is earned slowly—through consistent, enthusiastic, and genuine service. Over time, even the most doubtful individuals recognize sincerity when it is backed by action. Those who faithfully go the extra mile discover that service not only transforms others, but enriches their own lives in ways money alone never could.
