It is, in every way, the foundation of my faith. The beauty of generosity (true generosity, that is) is that there is no expectation of something in return. Pouring into others for the sake of pouring into others. As a Christian, my sole purpose and mission on this planet requires meeting people in their places of pain, hardship, suffering, or need. It is both unselfish and validates that person&#8217;s lived experiences. It is about love and abundance for every single human being. Everyone\u2019s birthright, as far as I\u2019m concerned.&nbsp;And this is done, very carefully, by pouring from a full cup and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"taking care of yourself (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/entrepreneur-inspiration\/always-remember-your-why-entrepreneur\/\" target=\"_blank\">taking care of yourself<\/a> so you can successfully help others.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/volunteer-1024x680.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/volunteer-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/volunteer-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/volunteer-768x510.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/volunteer.jpeg 1653w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Validating Humanity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientists say generosity is contagious. It has its roots not just in our individual development, but also in our biology and evolutionary history. In other words, it runs deep through us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe one of the main objectives of generosity is seeing beyond yourself. The \u201cbigger picture\u201d, if you will. To be generous towards someone is one of the finest gifts you can give them. So that they may be seen. And at its very best, so that they may thrive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generosity need not be complicated. Paying for the coffee of the person behind you at a coffee shop. Smiling at a stranger. Holding the door for someone. Volunteering at a local food bank for underserved populations. It embodies \u201cpaying it forward\u201d and involved generous solely for the sake of being generous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being generous makes me feel <em>good. <\/em>To know that others feel loved because I have known love is the most extraordinary chain reaction I will ever experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"808\" height=\"1002\" src=\"https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/open-hand.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/open-hand.jpeg 808w, https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/open-hand-242x300.jpeg 242w, https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/open-hand-768x952.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 808px) 100vw, 808px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Lifelong Practice&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, generosity comes down to two things: How are you loving on others, and how are you serving them?

Because kindness without an agenda makes an impact like nothing else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s something we can all make a little more room for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was written by our very own Megan Carter.<\/em> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/propelbusinessworks.com\/team\/megan-carter-copywriter-communication-strategist\/\">Learn more about Megan here. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Generosity is Defined Generosity is defined in a number of ways.
