Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 785 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
As a parent and, while we are helping our children grow up, we often remind them of how careful they have to be while they play with other children or the habits that we want them to develop. One of them is the ability to be compassionate and sharing. “Share everything you have”, we tell them. “Share your toys, share your bed, and share maybe even your lunch.” We tell this to our children as they are growing up. We want them to be kind, compassionate, and giving.
Sharing is an important component of our lives. As we grow to become adults and many people forget the importance of sharing. They believe that “this” is theirs, that they have earned the right to have it. Or they’ve earned, for whatever reason, the opportunity to use it. It becomes to them a fact. This is my car. These are my clothes. This is my office. This is my money and everything becomes then, just ‘mine’.
Let me tell you something about the word, “Sharing”. Sharing is the ability to recognize that was what given to you was a gift and not to you for eternity but really as a loan. Everything that you have is just a loan. It has been given to you by a Supreme Being to see what you’re going to do with it. To be compassionate, or not. To give, or not.
You have to recognize that the ability to be compassionate and giving doesn’t make you better than the recipient. It’s known and acknowledged that other people also have needs, and perhaps you’ve been given more than them. Sharing means the opportunity to take what you have, not only as a blessing but as a gift, to give to others and share with others.
Think of a book, a great book. Something that you have sitting on your shelf. It has so much knowledge to share with. If no-one reads it, what good is it? It’s just a pile of paper bounded together. But if you were to share it with others, now this book becomes a source of knowledge and perhaps the beginning of ambitions for many other people. It is the same with everything that you own and everything that you have.
Sharing means giving to others, regardless of what you’ve got, and regardless of ownership. Share everything you have – your knowledge, your ability, your kindness, your world. Your love. Share. Share with everyone – you’ll feel better about it.
