Nov. 17


Nov. 17: It’s really easy to be selfish. As I have mentioned before, Nathaniel pays for me for a lot of meals and other activities and dates. I want to give back to him, but at the same time I don’t want to spend a lot of my money. I know that he likes to eat a lot, so if I pay for him for a meal, it will be more expensive than I would like.
            Sacrificing is honoring integrity, and sacrificing $10-$20 for someone who pays much more for you is the least you can do to give back to them. I took Nathaniel out to eat today, and even though I was nervous about the money, I felt good afterwards knowing that I did something that he felt grateful for, and that what I did showed that I am grateful for him. It was an act of giving back, and that helped build my character.
