Giving is an art. Mastering it requires three components: 1) nding and

nurturing a deep concern for others, 2) developing valuable skills and traits

that can be used to serve them, and 3) breaking free from any desires that

hold us back from serving a cause greater than ourselves. The beauty of this

art is that it inspires everyone to pay it forward. Not only does it honor the

given, but it transforms the giver, as any true sacrice enriches the self.

Generosity then, is not about being a candle that burns away while giving light

to others but a battery that recharges so it can keep on giving instead.

Generosity. Altruism. Charity. Selflessness. These words may sound nice, but

what do they mean in practice? They can mean preferring others before

ourselves or maybe even leaving our own comfort for a cause. They can be

about humility and sacrice, or just plain good manners and courtesy, about

being charitable towards someone without expecting anything in return, or

even smiling in the face of your brother [or sister]. Think about it: what do

you have or what can you do for those around you? What is it that they may

want or need from you? Is it possible that in trying to nd ways to help others,

you may just nd your own purpose, your own happiness, and your own self?

You give but little when you give of your possessions.It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
