"We
give light to those who are in the darkness; we give a light to those who are
lost... and like a light, we can live a sparkling life of
generosity."
Blessings
come in our lives at any moment and circumstance. There are times when it comes
unexpectedly when we are already in our deepest despair, and lose hope to what
we are praying for. Sometimes, we interpret blessings as God's way of letting
us know that we are being heard for what we are wishing and aspiring.
In our
lives we have received numerous blessing that's an answer to our
prayers. We have asked for it and now it has been granted. Whatever we enjoy are first
conceived in our mind that now becomes a reality. We have it because of our
faith and firm belief that we will achieve our highest desires. Everything that we are enjoying
at the moment is the result of our 'wishful thinking' or imagination because we are a product of our mind's incredible power. If we
think about something and put our greatest concentration, affirmation and
action, then chances are we will get our wishes to come true.
ON GIVING BACK...
In life,
we don't only receive graces, but we have to give back in return. If we have
been successful of our desires, then we have to share the positive energy to
make our lives meaningful. I believe that in today's world, it should be a
two-way process of giving and receiving to make it more balanced and
fair.
Those who
are well-off and financially capable have a social responsibility. They can
give their share through philanthropy. Hence, in the corporate world, they must
do their corporate responsibilities of giving a part of what they have earned.
People who are less fortunate also deserve some blessings. Some people would be
living a life of discomfort and misery and their hopelessness makes them to
feel that life is not worth living.
I believe
that it is in giving that we feel happy and contented. Giving something would
mean we have enough. Giving away shows we care. Giving wholeheartedly without
expecting something in return; that is generosity.
Generosity
is a good quality that we must practice. Even our little contribution makes us
feel whole and having a sense of purpose. However, generosity comes in various
ways and has its limitations;
TO OUR FAMILY
We are
loved and we give love in return. No matter what happens our family would be
there to support us in all our aspirations. They provide comfort and guidance
in our way of living. When we are having separate lives, we must not forget our
family ties and still be generous to give back our love and care and time.
TO THE
SOCIETY
We can be
generous by sharing our knowledge and expertise and our resources. It is a good
feeling to become part of building up a better and responsible society. What we
do to our society will get back on us by providing a safer, active and
purposeful society.
TO OUR
GOD
It is
good to give thanks with a grateful heart. Everything that we have is a
blessing from the Divine and it is borrowed for a limited time. The generosity
that we do is a reflection of an 'open and big heart' and such is an act of
being spiritually connected towards our purpose.
We give
light to someone and to our environment through simple means of giving; we give
light to those who are in the darkness; we give a light to those who are
lost... and like a light, we can live a sparkling life of generosity.
