GIVING WOULDN’T MAKE YOUR POOR!

There are many who have the means to give, but not the heart to give. The generous concentrates on other than themselves, and their generosity not only makes them enriched but others too. It is not really about the Money, It is actually about the Heart.
Real generosity is not dependant so much on income as it is on the capacity of the heart.
There are many who have the means to give, but not the heart to give. And there are many, who, the more they have the less they give.
"Every person must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness".
The company of the generous is delightful. The generous concentrates on other than themselves, and their generosity not only makes them likeable but also makes the world a happier and better place.
Life should not really be about how much money we accrue, but rather how many people we serve; because the greater your giving, the greater your living. Giving does not devalue your worth and the Prophet in Islam said that "charity does not decrease wealth". Remember, we are here to enrich the world, and if we ever forget that we impoverish ourselves.
In helping others we enhance ourselves, for when you light another's path you can't
help but cast light on your own path. Realise that nobody stands taller in success than the one who bends down to help those in need. We become enriched by enriching the lives of others.
By living a life that is helpful, one's life becomes significant. "Life's most persistent and urgent question is. What are we doing for others?"
How we answer that question is in a way a good measure of our spirit of generosity.
Nothing feels better than the act of giving that serves as a reminder that everything we
have in this world is immaterial and never initially belonged to us in the first place.
No matter what you do, where you live, what religion you are, what race, generosity
is important. It is more than important, generosity is a necessity.
