Generosity
It feels good to give. I find it more difficult to receive. Generosity is one of humankind’s greatest characteristics. The following quotes are expressive of this trait.
“There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.”
~Nathaniel Branden
“Religion is a complex and often contradictory force in our word. It fosters hope and comfort but also doubt and guilt. It creates both community and exclusion. It brings societies together around shared belief and tears them apart through war. However, what unites the faithful, whatever their religion, is the unshakeable force of generosity.”
~Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen
“Money is not the only commodity that is fun to give. We can give time, we can give our expertise, we give our love or simply give a smile. What does that cost? The point is, none of us can ever run out of something to give.”
~Steve Goodier
This week, I invite you to bask in the glow of generosity.
