You may feel quite generous today and driven to give small gifts to everyone you encounter. This openhandedness can take the form of small, unexpected presents you allot your loved ones, a large one-time charitable contribution you grant an organization whose mission you support, or time spent volunteering. Since you likely feel particularly abundant, you may find that you feel good about sharing your resources with people in need of your help or love. As you spread joy in this manner, your own sense of joyfulness can increase markedly. Today, courting happiness can be as easy as incorporating a philosophy of generosity into your existence.

When we give others the gift of self-sufficiency by helping them prosper, we simultaneously give ourselves the joyous gift of knowing that we have contributed to the advancement of humanity as a whole. Our lives feel emptiest when we feel we have little to give the world in the way of charitable contributions. Yet by simply helping others whenever we can, we become part of something far larger than our individuality. Any isolation we might have felt disappears and is replaced by a wonderfully potent sense of personal satisfaction. Our efforts, no matter how small, remind us that we are, in fact, capable of making a difference using only the tools and resources we have in our possession. You will feel that your life is laden with gifts today when you share your abundance with all who are in need of aid or solace.
