 What Giving Is
Generosity takes many forms–we may give our time, our energy, our material possessions, our love. All are expressions of caring, of compassion, of connection, and of renunciation–the ability to let go. – Joseph Goldstein, “The Evolution of Happiness “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Joy of Giving
Through generosity, we cultivate a generous spirit. Generosity of spirit will usually lead to generosity of action, but being a generous person is more important than any particular act of giving. After all, it is possible to give without its being a generous act. – Gil Fronsdal, “The Joy of Giving” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Generosity Needs No Reason
Generosity might be strategically effective or virtuous, but that’s not important. The point is that there is no good reason to love life or each other, yet we do. – John Tarrant, “The Erotic Life of Emptiness “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 As If There is Nothing to Lose
Gratitude, the simple and profound feeling of being thankful, is the foundation of all generosity. I am generous when I believe that right now, right here, in this form and this place, I am myself being given what I need. Generosity requires that we relinquish something, and this is impossible if we are not glad for what we have. Otherwise the giving hand closes into a fist and won’t let go. – Sallie Jiko Tisdale, “As If There is Nothing to Lose” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Motivation to Awaken
We do have the potential to awaken, but we must do the hard work of distinguishing when we are motivated by greed, hatred, and delusion, and when we are motivated by their opposites–generosity, kindness, and wisdom. – Lynn Kelly, “First Thought, Worst Thought “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

The beauty of generosity is that it not only brings us happiness in the moment–we feel good when we give–but it is also the cause for happiness to arise in the future. – Joseph Goldstein, “The Evolution of Happiness “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
