    We are allways creating reality. Not always the reality we dream of. I understand I have to make an inner transformation and take action!

    Walking towards generosity! I work with you and I tell them to walk away from so many things, but what am I encouraging them to walk towards?

    The warmth and kindness that came across from all of these people in how simple it is to practice acts of kindness and generosity everyday and at the same time be rewarded with something that money cannot buy - being generous doesn't have to involve money as one can give so much from the heart which would benefit so many in so many ways - we need to spread more love throughout the world, something that so many hunger for and the reason why there are so many lonely people in this world. Thank you to you all for the inspiration - not to mention the goosebumps!!!

    Seeing the people walking forward was a powerful visual for me. As I watched that act of forward movement, it reminded me that I can take steps forward, big or small, to foster a generosity of spirit within me at any moment I choose. Even, right now. Peace and blessings to you.

    This video was beautifully inspiring and is something that usually doesn't come up in conversation. There is still in our culture a stigma that emotional feelings expressed are a sign of weakness. I personally do not believe this untruth but it does take a certain group of people to be comfortable with sharing these very deep and timely feelings and ideas. Thank you for helping me to see that I am not alone!

    Interested in others' definitions of this. Enjoyed it very much - it increased my optimism when I heard what they had to say. My first thought - being generous is to forgive and dismiss someone's mistakes with an open heart, and not giving myself credit for a good deed, but knowing that it is the natural, loving thing; not to see another's errors as anything but the learning experiences we all confront along the way. All of us need to be forgiven for mistakes. It is the natural loving gift.

    It inspire me to think that I have the responsibility to sensitize others to the importance of generosity, caring, being sensitive to others' needs and be available to them. I have the responsability to help people, who I work with or are my friends or my son, to acte face to face with generosity, every day.
