be generous

How can we be generous?
We can be generous when we are not attached.
When we let go.

We let go of:
money, things, food, possessions.

And we are MOST generous when we give beautiful things which we LOVE.
Not things we are not using or we don't love, we must give things we love so that our love goes to others.
Don't you think people know when you give something you don't like vs something you don't?
There's a certain karma in there!

The more we give, the more we will get.
The best we give, the best we will receive.

I had a beautiful wall decoration someone gave me.
I loved that very much. It said "anything is possible".
Because I loved it so much, I decided to give it away to someone I care about a lot.
This person when they received it, they were in a sort of "shock", you never know the effect you will have on people when you give.

People are not used to it unfortunately.
They are used to being "used", "cheated", and simply not appreciated.

Last night I got some coffee, I was craving some and I went on the drive thru. I had roses from my mother in laws house because I wanted to plant them.
I took one rose and gave it to the lady on the window.

I did not plan on that. I had no idea I would do that. But this random "acts of kindness" can transform a nation.

We need to give, we need to care, we need to do something whenever we can and the most importantly, we must love each other, no matter who we are, where we are and what we do.

If we did, this would be such an amazing place!
