Being generous is natural. But we learn the opposite over time and forget to give back. I'm using the word 'giving back' because I think we owe many things but still don't understand.
There are thousands of blessings in our life. If you start to count it will be uncountable, I can guarantee. This is one of the reasons we never feel we need to give back. Society, our family, friends do so much for us; we also should take some moments to give back, more!
The first thing we need to learn is gratefulness to give back more. We need to understand why we should be generous, why our contribution is necessary. And then we can decide how we want to add more value to others' life.
Don't just sit and wait for others to change the world. It's our duty too to act on something. At least start with a simple thing and see how you can input value in this society. It can be anything you know. Like reducing energy usage at your home, helping others to increase social connection, or as simple as sitting at home in this pandemic.
Giving back more doesn't require our wealth but our intention. We need the understanding first and then our realization and action. This is what can change our life, others, and thus the world.
Moreover, know that your effort counts. It will add up one way or another. So just motivate yourself to do more for others. It doesn't mean you have to lose your own thing, no. You can just choose to be more generous, be more connected to society and that's it.
Take a moment to understand how you can help improve society and let yourself input in this process. Don't hold yourself, let yourself to give more. Life will give back so much more to you!
