Generosity’s Gift

By living a generous life, you are in fact giving two gifts every time that you give one to another who may be less fortunate than yourself. For the gift you give is the gift you receive.

Let me explain.

Every time someone chooses to give, something happens on the inside. It’s as if a spark of life is ignited within. Simultaneously, it’s as if a gift has been deposited into the depths of your very own heart. And particularly, if you have no expectation of a return, nor a thank you – nothing – it makes the whole experience just that much more richer.

For every gift you give, so that others live, you will receive the gift of life. And that is why a giver will always be a longer liver.

The reason is quite simple. The principle of giving is guided by a universal law. That universal law is the law of sowing and reaping. It clearly states that as you sow, so shall you reap.

Life is not about getting. True and fulfilled living is about giving.

Whenever I come across a giver, they are clearly identified by the characteristics of a smile, a sense of a greater purpose than themselves and a vibrancy for life that is contagious.

So let me encourage you to give yourself a gift. And how do you do that? Find another, in greater need than yourself, and give of your time, your treasure or your talent.

Then stand back and watch as a greater life for you will be unveiled before your very eyes both now and in the future.
