When it comes to our finances, conventional wisdom says “To have more we must keep more”. So, if you hold on to what you have, you’ll have more. Makes sense, right? However, hoarding our finances only makes us emptier inside. In fact, the more generous we are the more enriched our lives will be. It’s a paradox. On paper, that doesn’t seem to add up. But you’ve heard the expression “It’s more blessed to give than to receive.” That’s because the more you hold your hand closed, the more it slips through your fingers. If you keep your hand open, you’re probably going to find that there will be enough left in your hand to meet your needs. Try that with sand sometime and you’ll see how this works. Do you remember teaching your children to share with others? Did we as adults forget that lesson ourselves? At some point in our lives, we’ve all been on the receiving end of someone else’s generosity. Perhaps we should find out how blessed we’d be if we were the ones doing the giving. Comment here.
