Generosity comes from a giving and open heart. Life is really very simple, what you give out comes back to you in great abundance. The secret is to give from a joyful place with no expectation of anything in return. For some people, the greatest satisfaction has come from giving anonymously. That is about as pure as giving can be.

There are 7 ways in which generosity can help you in your life:

Be generous with your time …
Stay fully present with each encounter, as if this moment, is the most important, and nothing else exists.

Be generous with your words …
Never miss an opportunity to tell someone how you feel about them, or something they have done. A word of encouragement, a note of appreciation, a sincere compliment, can brighten someone’s day and even change a life.

Be generous with your thoughts …
Think the best of others, and see them as they would like to be, and not as they are now.

Be generous with your money …
Find an occasion to share what you have with others. Money is like love, the more you give away, the more returns to you.

Be generous with your heart …
Keep it open, no matter how frightening that may be sometimes. An open heart will heal every ailment and restore peace to your soul.

Be generous with your smile …
Give it away to everyone you meet, and see the world reflected back to you, in joyous celebration.

Be generous with your love … It is who you really are, and why you came here, and in the end, it is all that really matters anyway.
