To turn part of your time, knowledge or ability into value for another person or for society.
Giving is broader than money. It may be an hour of volunteering, a learning session, a visit, honest advice within the limits of your expertise, or introducing someone to an opportunity.
Mature giving protects the recipient’s dignity and never turns their need into material for display.
How do we live it?
- Choose a form of giving that suits your ability.
- Share useful knowledge.
- Volunteer through trusted channels.
- Respect the recipient’s privacy.
- Make continuity more important than appearance.
A question for reflection
What do I have today that could be useful to someone else?
