One way to
practice generosity is to give energy where it is needed, whether that is in
the form of time, money or love. The most difficult time to be generous is
when we ourselves are feeling poor. While some of us have experienced
actually being in the red financially, there are those of us who would feel
broke even if we had a million dollars in the bank. Either way, as the old
adage goes, it is always in giving that we receive. Meaning that when we are
living in a state of lack, the very gesture we may least want to give is the
very act that could help us create the abundance that we seek. One way to
practice generosity is to give energy where it is needed. Giving money to a
cause or person in need is one way to give energy. Giving attention, love, or
a smile to another person are other acts of giving that we can offer. After
all, there are people all over the world that are hungry for love. Sometimes when we practice generosity, we
practice it conditionally. We might be expecting to “receive back” from the
person to whom we gave. We might even become angry or resentful if that
person doesn’t reciprocate. However, trust in the natural flow of energy, and
you will find yourself practicing generosity with no strings attached. This
is the purest form of giving. Remember that what you send out will always
come back to you. Selflessly help a friend in need without expecting them to
return the same favor in the same way, and know that you, too, will receive
that support from the universe when you need it. Besides, while giving
conditionally creates stress (because we are waiting with an invisible
balance sheet to receive our due), giving unconditionally creates and
generates abundance. We give freely, because we trust that there is always an
unlimited supply. Being aware of how much we are always
supported by the universe is one of the keys to abundance and generosity.
Consciously remember the times you’ve received support from expected and
unexpected sources. Remember anyone who has helped you when you’ve needed it
most, and bless all situations that come into your life for the lessons and
gifts they bring you. Remember that all things given and received emanate
from generosity. Giving is an act of gratitude. Plant the seeds of generosity
through your acts of giving, and you will grow the fruits of abundance for
yourself and those around you. |
