Each time I read your nuggets I’m left reflecting and introduced to new perspectives that I’ve never thought of before. Growing up I’ve always thought that generosity was transactional, if I got my friend a gift I would expect them to get me a gift but that’s not genuine generosity. After reading this I’ve learned that generosity shows up differently for everyone but the common theme is it’s not transactional but rather a way of connecting and enriching one’s life. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS.. I look forward to every Tuesday 🩷
Giving and receiving love in healthy balanced ways. My mind was stuck on the tit for tat / deposit withdrawal mechanism. A French mentor showed me how giving and receiving can come in many forms. So grateful for this lesson. Thanks 🙏🏻
Generosity leads to true happiness. How many times have we heard "There's more happiness in giving then there is receiving "? I'm weekly in my community globally volunteering my time teaching others how to enhance and improve their lives. I give gifts throughout the year not special occasions only. all year round ppl know they're thought of. I let people know my loving thoughts and sentiments, forgiveness is even a gift not to ourselves solely, but the other person. Holding a door, a smile ,a greeting counts. Personal interest is key. Nowadays, we experience folks who are fierce, lacking natural affection, puffed up with pride,and more and those qualities lack love. We need more qualities like kindness, peace ,goodness, love, joy, patience, etc. To promote love. Generosity even leads to good self esteem/confidence and helps our hormones. But be balanced so as to not give to our detriment.
Without exaggeration, love all your newsletter topics including this one.
Generosity and giving without expectations is quite a tricky habit to change. I am practicing to not make it transactional and deal with the feelings of resentment that creep in on few occasions. Thank you for being so generous and sharing your wisdom and experiences for other people to learn from and practice in their own time. 🙏
Thanks for the journey prompt. An unmet need of mine from childhood was someone else’s time. I’ve discovered this is the greatest gift I have received from others. It’s also a gift of my own and I now share this generously with others. Sometimes I wonder if I over share this gift but reading this has helped me reflect that as as my boundaries are in place and I look after myself and my needs, Holding space for myself as well as others then it’s not. There’s a balance there⚖️
