Generosity

How do you define generosity? It is said that generosity is giving, receiving AND dancing; When you give, you find that the compassion felt around you is contagious & it creates community. When you receive, you discover abundance, you realize generosity exists in so many different ways. And finally, when you dance, you give and receive with a natural rhythm, helping to create a community built on generosity.

The word entitlement sure has been used a lot by most all politicians. The word can sometimes flood or blur the thoughts of people when it comes to generosity. Why should I give to “those” people when they don’t help themselves. Why should I give MY money to those people, they should have their own money. OR here is one… We give to those people once a year, our church takes up a collection for them.

Generosity can be a way of life. When we care enough to share without expecting something in return you can see the good that ripples through that person/persons and it can be a bit contagious. Then, sometimes when you least expect it, you will receive and you learn something new… abundance! You understand that generosity exists in so many different ways and can come from most any direction, sometimes from the least expected source.

When a lot of giving and receiving is happening at the same time, you naturally begin to dance, that’s right! Your body is moving in a natural rhythm helping to create a community that is based on generosity that when others, new to your group, see feel, see and experience this contagious behavior of love.

I CAN BE THE CHANGE I SEEK IN THIS WORLD… I know that what I have done for myself alone dies with me; what I have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
