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?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
