You may discover you have earned a reputation for generosity today, though it is likely that you had no intention of acting publicly on behalf of others. As you come across opportunities to lend your support to people in need, your first impulse will likely be to do all you can to help such individuals prosper. You may enjoy watching those you aid leave their troubles behind and feel a great deal of satisfaction knowing that you were of some use to the world around you. Because you most likely will not seek compensation for your efforts today, you may find yourself blessed by the universe.
When we share our time and energy with others so that they can prosper, the feeling of satisfaction that accompanies our efforts is its own reward. A gift that is given by a giver who is hoping to earn some specific remuneration will bring little pleasure into the lives of all involved in the transaction. The selflessness that underlies generosity and charity is an important element of both, as it serves to ensure that our main focus is on what we can do for others rather than on what they can give us in return. While it is likely that those who benefit from our goodwill will express their gratitude in their own way, we should not expect that we will be compensated for our efforts lest we forget the unadulterated blessings of openhandedness. Your generosity will help you feel useful today, as you see how others grow under your caring eye.
