Giving from the heart (with no conscious or subconscious conditions attached) is joyful. And the energy that emanates from that one act amplifies out into the universe, sending layers of happiness and joy to countless that we probably did not know when we joyfully gave. Joyful giving has no preset conditions eg if I do this, I would require you to.... Joyful giving is not about how much recognition one will receive eg if I do this, what's the PR effect/ reflection on me? Joyful giving does not count the merits that one will receive from doing that act. Joyful giving is blind to race, gender, country. Joyful giving is nature as well as nurtured.
In celebration of this beautiful act of goodness, I will be posting stories and observations on this theme. Today, we celebrate the joyful giving of one of my friends:
Recently, my friend N found $100 on the floor. She waited at the spot for a while to see if anyone return to claim the money. When no one did, she decided to donate it to a charity. She met me later that day and asked me where to donate it to. I suggested passing it to a mum who has to pay enormous bills for her premature baby. This friend isn't rich, in fact $100 is alot of money to her. Yet she found joy in giving.
