LET'S TALK about GENEROSITY Conversation Starters

The best word used to describe generosity would be sharing; giving someone else something that belongs to you, that you will have less of as a result of sharing. We generally think of sharing in terms of time, money, or things. We give money and donate things to all kinds of charities and causes. We share our time with family, friends, neighbors, and organizations that help other people in need. But there are plenty of other, not-so-obvious and not-so-easy, ways to share. We find ourselves in situations where we know we “should” share our friends, our parents, attention we desperately want for ourselves, or perhaps credit for something earned or achieved. Letting someone in a hurry go ahead of you or giving a friend your turn on the swing are also examples of generosity.
 
When you focus on one topic a month, such as generosity, discussing what you did - or what you observed others doing - and how that felt, you’ll notice an attitude shift, mid-month, that happens as a result of that topic staying top-of-mind. Everyone becomes more aware.
