Is Your Autobiography Worth Reading?

Sam Thiara believes there are 5 guiding principles in his life and every action he takes has to hit all 5 principles or it's not something he does:

These 5 principles have helped him become a speaker, a mentor, a writer, a problem-solver...and have enabled him to help people be their best selves and it is through generosity that the greatest impact is made. The impact comes in a ripple effect by showing others how to also be generous.

Sam says that the key to generosity lies in taking inventory of who you are (not what you do) and in remembering that the more you give, the more you get back. It's important to do things for others, but also to let others do things for you sometimes. He quotes Sir Isaac Newton in saying "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

Especially as we find ourselves with more time on our hands, it's important to remember what you can share with others - perhaps it seems small to you, but it could have a profound effect down the road. He uses his own autobiographical journey to show how far-reaching our effects can be.
