    “First be full of love, then the sharing happens.  And then the great surprise… that as you give, you start receiving from unknown sources, from unknown corners, from unknown people, from trees, from rivers, from mountains.  From all nooks and corners of existence love starts showering on you.  The more you give, the more you get.  Life becomes a sheer dance of love.” ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, Alonenss: The Koan of Relationships

      “It was our belief that the love of possessions is a weakness to be overcome. Its appeal is to the material part, and if allowed its way, it will in time disturb one’s spiritual balance. Therefore, children must early learn the beauty of generosity. They are taught to give what they prize most, that they may taste the happiness of giving.” ~ Ohiyesa, American Indian

        “He who devotes himself to service with a clear conscience, will day by day grasp the necessity for it in greater measure, and will continually grow richer in faith… If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make not only for our own happiness but that of the world at large.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

          “I remember reading about the astounding number of people in this country who die within three years of retiring, which proves to me that if you lose the sense that you are producing or contributing in some way, you literally lose the will to live, and that if you do have a reason to hang on, you will.” ~ Anthony Robbins, Awaken the Giant Within

            “There is always a place in the world for those who are willing to give of their time, energy, capital, creativity, and commitment.” ~ Anthony Robbins, Awaken the Giant Within

            If I Can Stop

              If I can stop one heart from breaking,

              I shall not live in vain;

              If I can ease one life the aching,

              Or cool one pain,

              Or help one fainting robin

              Unto his nest again,

              I shall not live in vain.

              ~ Emily Dickinson

                “You and I do not have to wait for a great cause to make a commitment to personal service. It can start with those nearest to us: our family and friends.” ~ Keshavan Nair, A Higher Standard of Leadership

                  “The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you brought to other people’s lives that you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.” ~ Harold Kushner

                    “You can’t light another’s path without casting light on your own.” ~ John C. Maxwell, Today Matters

                      “How delightful is the company of generous people, who overlook trifles and keep their minds instinctively fixed on whatever is good and positive in the world around them. People of small caliber are always caring. They are bent on showing their own superiority, their knowledge or prowess or good breeding. But magnanimous people have no vanity, they have no jealousy, they have no reserves, and they feed on the true and solid wherever they find it.  And what is more, they find it everywhere.” ~ Van Wyck Brooks

                        “Money is another pair of hands to heal and feed and bless the desperate families of the earth… In other words, money is my other self. Money can go where I do not have time to go, where I do not have a passport to go. My money can go in my place and heal and bless and feed and help. A man’s money is an extension of himself.” ~ Bruce Larson
