Grateful for Generosity

Of course it is always nice to receive gifts, material or not. To feel that Generosity from someone else is truly a gift in itself. Just knowing someone was thinking about you, or someone cares about you is a warming feeling.

Generosity isn't just based on what's in your bank account, but instead, includes the pure intentions of looking out for common good and giving from the heart.

I've realized that whenever we feel drained or low, Generosity can build us back up. Whether it be Generosity with things, time, energy or most importantly Love, I'm grateful that the only way to make MYSELF more powerful, is to help someone else build their strength as well. Generosity brings perfect balance to the universe because when we give, we receive tenfold, which only makes us want to give more.

So today, I will try to meditate on all of the different ways others have been Generous towards me, and brainstorm all of the ways I can show Generosity to every person I encounter. Can you make a list of the random kind acts that have been bestowed upon you only to change your day for the better? I focused on random surprise acts of generosity. . .

The time a stranger:

~Let me go first in the grocery line.

~Smiled.

~Gave me a parking space.

~Paid for my coffee.

~Gave me a compliment.

~Opened the door.

~Pushed my car to the gas station.

~Gave me a ride home.

See each kind act as a blessing and remember that there is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.
