Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 561 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
In life, there are people who love to give. They love to help others, they’re the givers. Then you have others who love to take. They are called the takers. Now, it’s not as simple as givers and takers, but trying to put everything and everyone into perspective as to who they are makes a big difference.
If you have a life where you love to give, then your heart becomes more open, physically as well as spiritually. The Bible tells us that we have to give a portion of our “belongings”. All was given to each person as a loan to see what we would do with it. There are people who use it to the fullest extent of its meaning, and they truly give away what they have. They share everything and giving doesn’t necessarily mean money. It could be time, it could be energy, it could be thoughts, it could be giving a hug to someone. Even though that may not be a lot to that person, at a time of need, it could be very important.
Now, when you live with a grateful heart, you will see endless opportunities to give. It could just be a flower from the garden to a coworker that you picked up on the way there or a kind word that you share with a child, or even visiting an older person. You know what to do and you know what to give.
I recently heard about something that my daughter did. She went and visited a classroom and wanted to share with them the importance of learning, growing, and becoming better. I was very touched by what she said when she sent me the announcement and she said, “If I could make a difference in just one child and make this place a better place, then I’ve accomplished my mission.” What a beautiful thought.
That’s a sense of fullness in her life. I was so proud when I heard that and read what she did. The ability to go in front of children and share with them goodness and greatness for no other reason than helping them become better. She wasn’t getting paid for this and she was not getting a diploma, a certificate, or even an award. She did it out of the greatness of her heart. This shows the type of person that she is. Giving to others, sharing with others, especially children, because children, if you think about it, may not always be grateful or thankful. They may even forget to say thank you at times. They are young and they don’t quite know the etiquette of being polite or at times, they don’t have the know-how. Yet she went and gave them her time and she spent with them valuable concepts, valuable knowledge, and I’m sure that these children one day will remember this. She may have at this point changed the life of some of those children that will become leaders in the world of tomorrow. What a wonderful thing to do.
Sense of fullness is the ability to share with others what you have, what you know. It’s the gratitude to know that you have been given some turns, talents, or some things and you want to give it to others as well. What a beautiful thought and I’m proud of her, and I wanted to share that with you so we could both emulate her in this path.
