It is in giving that we expand.
Coming from gratitude and from realizing how much we have been given, we can only realize how overflowingly we are endowed with so much provisions. The mere fact that we are given the ability to produce wealth alone is more than enough to be thankful for. Our biggest asset is our own selves and we can even be bigger than life if we set our sight on what’s in front of us: the vast panorama of abundance right within our view. Sometimes we are blinded we cannot see this abundance; we are blinded by thoughts of not having enough because we want more, thinking that to have more is the anchor of happiness.
Giving one’s self is often realized when we serve. When we serve we give part of ourselves because we give our time which can never be recovered once spent; time which is fixed for everyone in the universe as no one has more than twenty four hours; time which is precious like gold as we can measure how much every minute of our time costs. Monetary contributions can be earned back in a breeze. Time can never be returned back to us. As we serve, we give of ourselves- the very reason why this is the most noble of all giving. We expand as we do this. We expand because we make it possible to embed imprints of ourselves into the lives of others as we make our physical presence felt. The love that we express in this form of giving is humbling; we give others permission to experience us on a level that can only be made possible by a sincere act of spending our time with others in the spirit of service.
Let us not get tired of giving part of us, the fruits of our good heart, for this is the path that echoes thru eternity.
Spread love. Walk in light.
