You were generous with your time. You went out of
your way and put yourself out. In the end, the person
you were assisting didn't better their circumstance
or put your help to good use. You were let down.
You were generous with your love. You gave it
openly and said all the right words. In the end, your
affection was spurned, let go, or betrayed. You were
hurt.
You were generous with your kindness. You spoke
warmly and complimented often. In the end, your
positive attitude was met with cynicism or sarcasm.
You felt dejected.
If you remain stuck and stubborn, focusing on the
return for you investment, you'll continue to be let
down, hurt and dejected. If you move on and live to
give again, your generosity will find its way back to
you. For every person who doesn't appreciate your
time, your love or your kindness, there's another
person who'd accept your generosity of spirit with
heartfelt gratitude.
A generous light spreads. It fills the world with time
for caring, love for sharing and kindness with no
sparing.
You'll be remembered for the parts of yourself you
gave away, not for the possessions you received....
in the end.
