To give or to receive?

There are myriad of great questions both real and rhetorical… but this one struck me with a ton of bricks.
What is the better life position, to focus on receiving what is wanted / needed, or to focus on giving what one feels others need? Basically, do we live to receive or to give?
That is the question, grasshopper.
I am finding that the more I focusing on giving, the happier I am …
When it is time for you choose (every day, right?) … choose carefully, grasshopper.

Update March 26 … a more mainstream media outlet with tons of ads had a piece about being happy … it’s a skill, and they listed out 30 lessons to be happier … giving is big on the list :).
