How generous can you be today?

Generous with your feelings, your belongings, your financial resources, perhaps even with your time?

The act of being generous with what you have and own is absolutely a reflection of the kind of person you are and while your generosity might help another person, there’s actually a greater reward in it for you.

Studies have shown that generous individuals live a happier and more fulfilled life because the act of giving makes people feel better about themselves. So if you’re still on the fence about being generous then you can begin by doing it for selfish reasons.

The sheer act of giving lets you know that you have enough and subtly also tells you that you have hope that there’s more out there for you. Being generous and giving transitions you from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance. So while being generous helps others, it actually is even more beneficial for you.

Another benefit of being generous is that when you give to others it shifts your focus from you them and reminds you that we’re all connected.

So start today with a mindset of generosity and look for ways to give to others. You might be surprised to see how far a little generosity can go towards improving their lives and ultimately your own.
