Giving, and being greatful that you can give

This is something that we all know...but is never at the forefront of our lives... and it should be.

So we know that its "always better to give than to receive", right? Maybe we don't.

Let me give you an example. I have had stress, a recent break up, a bad performance at work (which shook me), health issues, recent surgery, family is experiencing health issues, a car accident, health issues of my own, etc etc and so on and so forth. I can focus on all the bad things, or I can move them into a positive light so that they can improve.

What is the best way to propel your life into positive light? You guessed it. Give! Its so simple.

Give a compliment, give a hug, take a moment, let someone cut in line, give your dessert that you packed special just for yourself to someone who forgot their lunch, all that good easy stuff we can but don't do everyday. Propel your life into a positive light.

Then let yourself feel good about it. Because you are capable, or because you have the means is not enough, let yourself know, and tell yourself... "You did something good, you made a difference". Own it.. (like you should own all of your actions).

“If you have much, give of your wealth; If you have little, give of your heart" Arab Proverb
