You may notice that you feel a desire to give your time and talents to support others today. This generosity could be the result of a desire to please others through service. Today you might want to examine your motivation behind helping others. If you feel a genuine need to be supportive without having the need to be needed, then you could set aside time in your day to provide assistance. You can listen to the concerns of others and let them know you are available to them. If, on the other hand, you begin to feel tired or even resent the act of giving, allot time for a break so that afterward you can devote yourself to other people with renewed energy. It is important to remember that you might need to be aware of your feelings as they arise so that you can truly give generously to others.

Being aware of our own intentions can help us be sincerely generous. The act of giving involves being truly present with others, either with our attention or with our talents. When we give with the underlying purpose to receive in return, we deplete our energy, since generosity is the art of completely paying attention to another's need with our whole body and spirit. In such cases we need to reassess our intent so that we can give with a full and understanding heart. By centering yourself and aligning with a true intention to give today, you will be an exceptionally valuable support for others.
