I tried that.
It's very important to do it properly so's you don't hurt your own self.
Or perhaps I'm just talentless. :o
But I'm told that it's important to be sure you spread it around a lot and don't try to aim it all at just one person and to grow suspicious if you don't notice it coming back around.

Absolutely! I just feel that the more you put yourself out there doing stuff for people for your own enjoyment, then the more you will get out of life.
I also feel strongly that the "more" to life that people are looking for isn't about the circumstances we're in - yes, it would be nice to have a private jet and be successful and adored and perpetually healthy, but all that is really out there on the rim of the wheel of fate/life, as Joseph Campbell put it so well. As fate inevitably turns, your life is always going to be swinging up and down, up and down. If you're dangling out there on the rim letting your circumstances govern how you feel, you're going to start feeling like "Fortune's fool". The trick is to be as near the center of the wheel as possible, letting circumstances change around you as they will while you inhabit the center. Kind of like Frieda's "dancing in the rain."
How we each inhabit the center and what we personally find as an effective touchstone to get us there in the first place is a whole other conversation.
One that I am no longer willing to enter into very deeply here.
