When life is generous with you, be generous with life. When I heard this many years ago, it felt like a revelation: I could actively participate in a virtuous cycle of life. I have always tried to live up to this mantra. Let me unpack this: I am healthy, have a successful career, live in a democratic country, have a loving family and friends, and experience many joyful moments in life. So why not reciprocate at every engagement and interaction?
Like anyone else, I have my share of mistakes, challenges and troubles, but I choose to look at all of them for what they are: facts of life where I am learning something, even when it hurts.
This has been my choice on how I live my life, and nothing bad will happen to you if you don’t follow this. But if you are still reading this post, I suggest you try it out. You could start by:
▶ pausing and reflecting on all the gifts in your life, and,
▶ asking yourself, how might I contribute and give back?
Be generous with life
