"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 into our lives at any moment and circumstance. Sometimes, it comes
unexpectedly when we are already in our deepest despair and lose hope in what
we pray for. Occasionally, we interpret blessings as God's way of letting
us know we are being heard for what we wish and aspire to.
In our
lives, we have received numerous blessings that answer our
prayers. We have asked for it, and now it has been granted. Whatever we enjoy is conceived in our mind and now becomes a reality. We have it because of our
faith and firm belief that we will achieve our strongest desires. Everything we enjoy now results from our 'wishful thinking' or imagination, a concept that refers to the power of positive thinking and visualization in manifesting our desires. If we
think about something and put our greatest concentration, affirmation, and
action into it, then chances are we will get our wishes to come true.
ON GIVING BACK...
In life,
we don't only receive graces; we also have to give back in return. If we have
achieved our desires, we must share the positive energy to
make our lives meaningful. Generosity is not just about giving, but also about receiving. It's a two-way process where giving and receiving should be balanced and fair. When we give, we also receive the joy and fulfillment that comes from helping others, creating a harmonious cycle of generosity.
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 duties of providing a part of what they have earned.
This includes initiatives such as corporate social responsibility programs, charitable donations, and ethical business practices that contribute to the well-being of society. Less fortunate people also deserve some blessings. Some people live a life of discomfort and misery, and their hopelessness makes them feel that life is not worth living.
Giving brings us immense joy and contentment. It's a sign that we have enough and we care. True generosity lies in giving wholeheartedly, without expecting anything in return.
Generosity
is a good quality that we must practice. Even our little contribution makes us
feel whole and have a sense of purpose. However, generosity comes in various
ways and has its limitations;
TO OUR FAMILY
Our family's love and support are unwavering. They stand by us in all our endeavors, providing comfort and guidance. Even when we lead separate lives, we must remember our family ties and generously give back our love, care, and time.
TO THE
SOCIETY
Generosity extends beyond individual acts. By sharing our knowledge, expertise, and resources, we become part of building a better, more responsible society. Our contributions to the community come back to us, creating a safer, more active, and purposeful environment.
TO OUR
GOD
It is
good to give thanks with a grateful heart. Everything we have is a blessing from the Divine and borrowed for a limited time. The generosity
we do reflects an 'open and big heart,' and such is an act of
being spiritually connected to our purpose.
We give
light to someone and to our environment through simple means of giving; we give
light to those in the darkness; we provide light to those who are
lost... and like a light, we can live a sparkling life of generosity.
