You can be generous with your listening.
You can be generous with your time.

You can be generous with your teaching.
You can be generous with your smiles and laughter.
You can be generous with your ideas and creativity.
You can be generous with your advice.
You can be generous with your empathy.
You can be generous with your affection.
You can be generous with your compliments.
You can be generous with your food and drink.
You can be generous with your care, concern, and visitation of the sick and elderly.
You can be generous with your space.
You can be generous with your excuses for others.
You can be generous with your forgiveness.
You can be generous with your wisdom and knowledge.
You can be generous with your skills and talents.
You can be generous with your protection.
You can be generous with your desire to remove the burdens of others.
So use your imagination to explore how you can increase your “giving” to become a more truly generous person.
