“You give ____ in Abundance, you get ____ in Abundance.”

“Euphoria, it is!!”

It multiplies magnificently, when you contribute even a little of it. It makes you stronger from within. The gesture touches your heart and soul. It elates your spirit with joy.

What is it? Why is it a necessary piece of life?

Let us know it well.

Thank You God, Thank You God, Thank You God!!”

DAY 18: BE GRACIOUS TO RECEIVE “Thank you

With the act of Generosity, the mind receives so many reminders to be grateful about.

We all wish to help the society in some way or the other. We all are kindhearted because of our hearts that beat within. We all deeply realize that whatever we do and to whatever extent we do, the society would still succumb to despair. Yet, we still want to give a bit.

In light of this view, I want to share my experience of the day. I took my little buddy, Oscar for a walk today morning. I came across a lady sitting beneath a tree next to my apartment. She had her 3 year old boy along. Whilst I was walking down the lane she urged me to give her some food so that at least she could feed her son, in a distressed tone. Agreeing to her in affirmation, I went upstairs and my mom made a few chapatis with some pickle and vegetable in a box. As soon as I reached downstairs, that little boy ran barefooted towards me with sparkling eyes and a glee. I was touched by seeing his beautiful response. The lady was delighted to receive the lunch and blessed me with her emotions.

A small gesture of help being provided to the society multiplies our own theory of Gratitude in abundance. I realized how lucky I am to have ample of everything, that I am able to give some of it to the people in need.

The universal law of giving and receiving in abundance is applicable in every aspect, with whatever you fill the blank with. Be it love, joy, food, respect, gratitude or, hatred, ego, disgust or any other negative emotion.

When you are humble, you come to the face of reality. You feel like contributing your bit. But it takes enough enthusiasm and courage to get on the real ground and turn the thought into an act.

The world is filled with thinkers, but the actors run the world.

Let us be all be gracious to the people or animals in these tough times.

More importantly, let us all be thankful to those in need. It is actually the other way round. We need them!

We need them in our lives because their presence makes us more submissive, magnanimous, kind, modest, passive. All and all, their presence makes us more HUMAN.

THANK YOU UNIVERSE FOR MAKING ME ABLE ENOUGH TO AID OTHERS IN NEED- EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY. I AM PRIVILEGED TO HAVE EVERYTHING AND I ACCEPT ALL OF IT WITH MY WIDE OPEN ARMS WITH GRATEFULNESS”

And the Activity for you all is:

ACTIVITY- “Many out there, need our help. Stray animals or humans. If you buy groceries, buy a kilo of wheat or some vegetables for someone you see, is in need. Feed the stray on the streets, give them bread or chapatis, water to drink, or milk. You can put an earthen pot filled with water on the street. Do your bit. Your good deeds will pour on you. The blessings you receive will reflect in your life.”

Thank you readers, for supporting me constantly. If you want to share anything, comment section is the space. I would love to hear it from you.

Love,

Kanishka Joshi
