A generous person is someone who shows a readiness to give more of something, whether money, gifts, or time. They typically go above and beyond what’s necessary or expected. It’s their way of displaying kindness towards others.
While there are many generous people in the world, the question becomes how generous are you? Truly generous people are often successful in life. They’re not just successful at work or in the community, but also in their personal lives. The great thing is that anyone can become a generous person no matter the situation or how much you have or what you hope to have. Generosity can be natural or taught.
The best part about being generous is the fact that it comes from the heart and leads to many blessings. It builds character and offers benefits. It’s also been said that generous people are more likely to be successful.
Earlier this week Lifehack.com released an article giving seven reasons why success often fills the lives of generous people.
1. Generous people are happy people
2. Generous people are more relaxed
3. Generous people are willing to work hard
4. Generous people are kind people
5. Generous people are free people
6. Generous people have better relationships
7. Generous people are confident people
Many generous people give generously because there’s a joy that comes with the feeling of giving. There’s a calming in giving. While working hard, generous people realize that they will get back whatever the put in. It’s a way of life. Generous people feel free because of their ability to help others. It’s a way of taking the limits off of their life.
It’s about the practice of going above and beyond. Being generous builds relationship. It can add quality to a friendship and make you better friends adding loyalty (carefully). Generosity builds confidence. It forces you not to be the center of your world. As you feel better for others you feel better about yourself. You don’t look at your blessings from a selfish point of view. You see your life as a help to others.
Giving is like gardening. You plant seeds and the will grow if managed properly. No matter what you’re giving in life, it reflects what you’ll get. So begin to be more generous. You don’t have to have money. You have to have the right heart. Let your giving begin to take you places you’ve never been…
More life.
