Giving

As we observe and celebrate on this day, Thanksgiving day 2020, it is my intention in this blog post to share with everyone a list of the qualities of giving that we can nurture moving forward, pressing onward and upward. These internal attitudes of character and behavior represent the antithesis of narcissism.

Thanksgiving is a time to feel grateful and connect with gratitude, but besides the first part of the word "thanksgiving," the second part is more important, especially now with all the challenges we face as Americans and as human beings around the globe. Giving is what makes us human - whereby we feel that others are more important than ourselves.

When our own needs take a backseat to feeling empathy for the needs of others, we discover what being human can be. Let's listen to the silence (within and without) today and everyday as we keep on keepin' on, and pick one or a few of these qualities to life with self-actualization, consciousness and action. Hope this list is of some assistance in exploring what giving can do for us and others.
