DESCRIPTION
Giving is an art. Mastering it requires three components: 1) finding and nurturing a deep concern for others, 2) developing valuable skills and traits that can be used to serve them, and 3) breaking free from any desires that hold us back from serving a cause greater than ourselves. The beauty of this art is that it inspires everyone to “pay it forward.” Not only does it honor the given, but it transforms the giver, as any true sacrifice enriches the self. Generosity then, is not about being a candle that burns away while giving light to others but a battery that recharges so it can keep on giving instead.Generosity. Altruism. Charity. Selflessness. These words may sound nice, but what do they mean in practice? They can mean preferring others before ourselves or maybe even leaving our own comfort for a cause. They can be about humility and sacrifice, or just plain good manners and courtesy, about being charitable towards someone without expecting anything in return, or even “smiling in the face of your brother [or sister].” Think about it: what do you have or what can you do for those around you? What is it that they may want or need from you? Is it possible that in trying to find ways to help others, you may just find your own purpose, your own happiness, and your own self?

Giving is an art. Mastering it requires three components: 1) nding and
nurturing a deep concern for others, 2) developing valuable skills and traits
that can be used to serve them, and 3) breaking free from any desires that
hold us back from serving a cause greater than ourselves. The beauty of this
art is that it inspires everyone to pay it forward. Not only does it honor the
given, but it transforms the giver, as any true sacrice enriches the self.
Generosity then, is not about being a candle that burns away while giving light
to others but a battery that recharges so it can keep on giving instead.
Generosity. Altruism. Charity. Selflessness. These words may sound nice, but
what do they mean in practice? They can mean preferring others before
ourselves or maybe even leaving our own comfort for a cause. They can be
about humility and sacrice, or just plain good manners and courtesy, about
being charitable towards someone without expecting anything in return, or
even smiling in the face of your brother [or sister]. Think about it: what do
you have or what can you do for those around you? What is it that they may
want or need from you? Is it possible that in trying to nd ways to help others,
you may just nd your own purpose, your own happiness, and your own self?
You give but little when you give of your possessions.It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
