“Giving is a privilege for both the giver and the receiver. Both are honored and ennobled by the action of giving. Giving is a rare and precious energy resource, the energy of connecting. When we show kindness and generosity towards one another, we connect deeply and are enriched by the connection.

Generosity stretches us beyond the ego, beyond our usual limits and attachments. This may feel scary and difficult, even impossible at first, but if we take the plunge, something snaps, and we are freed eventually of the limiting beliefs of scarcity. Breaking our boundaries in this way leads to unparalleled joy. There is nothing quite like going the extra mile whenever possible; it is the best therapy there is. It is a therapy that enlarges our spirit and ultimately our material world.”
