Life is Generous.
I know it doesn’t seem that way at times. Reading the news leads us to believe that not only is Life not Generous, but it is a shitshow of scarcity.
Not enough:
Jobs
Housing
Education
Healthcare
Money
Opportunity
Justice
Time
Kindness
Love
We are led to believe that our collective problems as a species are too big and that our abilities to address them are wholly insufficient.
We are led to believe that Life is about Survival of the Fittest, and if we’re honest, most of us don’t quite fit.
Life is depicted as a struggle for Survival.
The fact of the matter is that while Life is ridiculously, tragically, horribly difficult sometimes, it’s also remarkably, abundantly, Generous.
That sun, you know, the one that rises every single solitary morning?
That sun Generously gives its energy to this beautiful earth and creates the conditions for Life.
From the moment we’re born to the day we die, Life offers itself to us.
We need to change the narrative.
We need to move from consumption to engagement.
We need to shift our mindsets from scarcity to abundance.
We need to recognize that Generosity is a fundamental part of our humanness, not something extra or tied exclusively to money or when we have “Enough.”
Most importantly, we need to understand that we are all connected to each other and with Life. Our reality is a family affair.
And remember, be Generous to yourself.
Liberation takes fuel, takes nourishment, and that begins with Generosity.
We do this thing together.
We do this thing together.
