There is a secret selfishness in giving,
In that it feels good to give.
There's an ancient Chinese proverb that says a little bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives you the roses.
So that every time we give an offering to someone else,
We're actually reaping the benefits that are inherent in the energy of the offering.
That the generosity,
The offering of love,
Compassion,
Happiness to someone else leaves us with that same energy.
Because certainly we can't give something that we don't already possess ourselves.
So in the act of giving,
The energy that we've created,
That unconditional generosity that is required of us in order to give something to someone without expecting anything in return,
That energy in and of itself is elevating us.
It's enhancing our own life experience.
The quality of our life ultimately comes down to the energy that we leave behind.
So give generously,
Unconditionally,
And allow that generous unconditional offering to leave you with the same energy that you've so generously given to someone else.
Share the best of yourself today and allow for the sweet fragrance of giving to linger in every aspect of your life.
Blessings blessings blessings,
Spoken Word Yoga,
Namaste.
