The Real Wealth: What You Give is What Counts.

We often measure wealth by what we own, money in the bank, possessions, achievements, or status. But true wealth isn’t about what we keep; it’s about what we give. The more you give: time, kindness, love, support, the fuller your soul becomes. The true value of life isn’t found in what we gather, but in what we scatter with purpose.

Giving doesn’t always mean financial generosity. It’s about sharing pieces of yourself that make someone else’s journey lighter, brighter, or more meaningful. When you give with intention, you plant seeds that ripple far beyond what you may ever see.

How to Apply the Principle of Giving in Your Life.

1. Start with Kindness

Kindness is free, and it multiplies. Begin small: a smile at a stranger, a word of encouragement, or a simple “thank you.” These little acts enrich not only the recipient’s day but also your own.

Try this today: Compliment someone genuinely. Notice how it makes both of you feel.

2. Share Your Time

Time is one of the most valuable gifts we can offer. Spend quality time with loved ones, volunteer in your community, or simply be fully present in a conversation. Presence shows care.

Try this this week: Set aside 30 minutes to visit or call someone you haven’t connected with in a while.

3. Use Your Talents

Everyone has unique skills or knowledge. Sharing your abilities can inspire, teach, or uplift others. Maybe you can mentor, teach, bake, build, write, or simply listen; your talents can make a lasting difference.

Try this month: Identify one way your skill could benefit someone else and put it into action.

4. Give with Purpose

Scatter with intention. Whether it’s donating to a cause, encouraging a colleague, or sharing hope with a friend, let your giving carry meaning. Purposeful giving aligns with your values and makes your life richer.

Try this ongoing: Before giving, ask yourself: Will this act reflect love, hope, or growth for someone else?

5. Celebrate the Ripple Effect

You may never fully know the impact of your giving. A kind word could heal a heart. A shared skill could transform someone’s future. Trust that what you scatter with love will always grow beyond your sight.

Remember: You don’t give to get back, you give to live fully.

Final Thought

Life’s true richness isn’t measured in possessions or accolades. It’s measured in love shared, kindness given, and hope scattered. When you live with generosity, your soul becomes abundant and your life becomes a legacy.

Much love,
