SUNDAY: BE GENEROUS WITH YOUR SPIRIT

“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Altruism is the quality of unselfish concern for the welfare of others. Today is your day to be creative and see how you can joyfully be generous and allow your spirit to shine its incredible glow on others.

It would be wonderful if we could realize how bright our light is and help others recognize their own astonishing light! We are all designed to be the candle that lights a thousand others. It’s our choice whether to do it or not.

Will you do that today? Go out and consciously “light as many candles” as you can. Feel light and be light-filled, feel great and joyful, then spread that joy. Laugh, be happy, have fun, and create joyful moments for you and for others.

If you are not feeling joyful, remember Psalm 118:24 says, “This is the day the Lord hath made and we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Notice it’s a conscious decision—we will rejoice and be glad!

Create ways to feel good, be joyful and give joy. Skip, dance, play, laugh, sing, admire nature, admire others and tell them they are wonderful and that you love them. In France, it’s called “joie de vie”—the joy of living! Use your joy today to bring joy and color to others.

Perhaps today you will just sit quietly, hold someone’s hand and be with them. Whatever they need, generously give it to them.

Whatever it takes—commit yourself today to lighting up others and the world with your astonishing generous spirit.
