Love or Money: The Hard Truth About Why People Show Up

In this powerful Wisdom Wednesday episode of Fuel for the Soul, Darrius Garrett (@IamDarriusGarrett) delivers a heartfelt message rooted in a lesson his father once told him: “People will only do for you out of love… or money.”

 

As Darrius reflects on this painful but profound truth, he opens up about the emotional toll of giving selflessly only to feel taken for granted. This episode is for the givers—the ones who show up with love in their hearts but often walk away feeling empty.

 

If you’ve ever been drained, dismissed, or devalued for your kindness, this one’s for you. It’s time to start loving with boundaries, giving with wisdom, and expecting respect in return.
