Be Generous

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 months ago 1 min read
It is important to listen

“Attention

is the rarest and purest form

of generosity.”

Attention is linked to kindness.

When you are kind enough

to give someone your attention,

you could literally

change their lives.

This ‘intentional’ focus

helps us to encourage a sense of belonging,

reminding the other person

that he or she is

seen, heard and valued.

Everything today moves along at such a fast pace

that it seems a rare thing

for someone to stop and listen.

Giving our time and listening to another

shows a great deal

about our own personality.

It is such a simple way of being generous

that anyone and everyone can do —

if they really want to!

This builds up trust

which can only lead

to a more united community.

In this way,

we can contribute

to a stronger and more positive world.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
