Apparently the best kept secret of being joyful is being generous. Just think how life would be, if just for once, you would stop worrying about what you can get, enjoy giving all you can give. Living generously is living well and living richly. It makes you an active participant not only in your own good fortune, but also in the good fortune of the others. Life can be an incredibly beautiful and wonderful experience. Your generosity magnifies that beauty and wonder many times over.
Generosity is not merely a matter of material or monetary offerings. Real and meaningful generosity is giving of yourself. Give your love, attention, compassion, interest, genuine care and concern. Give your time, understanding, a peaceful and positive presence and give your commitment. If not money, you can give out several other things people hope for receiving from you.
Live each day with a generous heart. Make life’s abundance even more abundant by giving the best that you have. So, never set out to do good deeds, just have a generous heart and feel the pain that someone might be feeling, the same way as they do. The biggest prayer is the healing of a broken heart.
