It’s easy to equate the word “generosity,” with financial giving, or gift giving of some kind, or volunteerism.
Far less often do we include the notion of kind gestures, offering compliments, sharing an encouraging word, or simple smiling as forms of “generosity.” Possibly, though, these micro-generosities may have the biggest impacts – on others and ourselves.
If quantum physics is accurate, our own consciousness may help reveal reality to us. It’s in our best interest, then, to go through life embracing as generous an outlook as we possibly can.
We often hear people say, “If I had more money, I’d be generous!”
But, generosity is neither an act nor a behavior as much as it is a spirit or disposition that humans choose to exercise.
We don’t need more money (or anything else) to be generous. We need greater awareness and gratitude – for ourselves and for others.
And smiling more wouldn’t hurt either.
