When meeting other people in social situations you may be extremely welcoming today, and your hospitality could be borne from your desire to make other people feel comfortable and needed. Since giving to others, even something as simple as a warm smile, can be a wonderful way to show your affection for those around you, you might consider opening your heart to others so as to make certain that your generosity comes from a place that is pure and genuine. As you welcome or do something kind for another person today, perhaps you can imagine that your hug, handshake or smile is emanating directly from your heart, sharing the loving energy that comes from deep within you. Picturing your actions as being an extension of your true love could not only make you much more gracious and open to others but it might also deepen the connection between you as well.

When our actions are an extension of our heart we are much more receptive and able to give purely to those around us. It can be easy for us to have the desire to do things for other people, but sometimes we might not have the right intention. Being a giving and kindhearted person, however, is something that comes directly from our hearts, not our minds, and visualizing our actions as coming directly from this place of love helps us to cultivate this love in everything we do. By reaching out with your heart, your gifts will be authentic, earnest, and full of compassionate thought today.
