When we are living in integrity with our truth, and we respect ourselves and others, we will naturally feel generous; it is not forced. When we give anonymously, there is a quiet happiness and peace inside. When we start to make a habit of this, it helps us to stop needing the acknowledgment and recognition. Being able to accept someone else's generosity is as important as being generous to others. When we give too much, we can also end up depriving the other person. We may end up enabling someone rather than allowing that person the opportunity for a learning experience. Generosity comes naturally. We become more focused on helping others, whether it is a manager developing her direct reports, a salesperson helping his prospect with a solution, or a team member committed to the project.
