Generosity is the mindset and act of giving freely to others. When the pandemic began disrupting life in our business and private worlds, our collective anxieties soared, it became clear that giving boldly in ways that push each of us to think differently should become our focus. Throughout this pandemic, I’ve seen and heard some great generosity taking place within our community.
In a previous blog, I discussed the difference between empathy and compassion. Mindvalley states, “If empathy is the great connector, compassion is the bridge between emotion and action.”
If empathy is the feeling that ignites us and compassion is the catalyst that moves us to action, we live in a mindset of generosity. Imagine the difference we can make in the world if enough people genuinely move into action!
As time rolls by and COVID-19 lingers, let’s turn our empathy into action, and then let’s take everything up a notch. What can you do this week to be more generous in more creative ways? How might you push yourself and those around you to think bigger and bolder about giving in ways that may even make you a bit uncomfortable?
Let’s get out there and make a bold difference!
