Daily Gratitude: “Generosity is not a thing we spend, but a flow that increases in size the more it is shared.”

I always try to explain how the more you give, the more you get back. And being generous doesn’t have to “cost you” money. You can be generous with your time, with your words, with your smiles, with touch. There are so many ways to be generous.

You see this in natural disasters. People of all persuasions come together to help each other. That is Generosity and once the trend has started, there really is a flow. Everyone gets on the bandwagon. Everyone is helping everyone else.

Just think how much fun it would be to start a trend like this maybe just in your household or maybe at work or perhaps on a much bigger level.

Humans mirror actions of other humans. That’s why parents and teachers need to model the behavior and qualities desired in the young people they have in their charge.

Make it part of your daily routine to be generous in some way and then reflect on it each night. As you’re getting ready to fall asleep think about it and how it made you and the other person feel. What a beautiful thought as you drift off to sleep.
