"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 are praying 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 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 strongest desires. Everything we are enjoying now 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
achieved our desires, we must share the positive energy to
make our lives meaningful. In today's world, giving and receiving should be a two-way process 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 duties of providing a part of what they have earned.
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.
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; is generosity.
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
We are
loved, and we give love in return. No matter what happens, our family will be
there to support us in all our aspirations. They provide comfort and guidance
in our way of living. When having separate lives, we must not forget our family ties and still be generous to give back our love, care, and time.
TO THE
SOCIETY
We can be
generous by sharing our knowledge, expertise, and resources. It is a good
feeling to become part of building up a better and more responsible society. What we
do to our community will get back to us by providing a safer, more active, and
purposeful organization.
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.
