Live To Share

Some more wisdom came to me from an odd place. This time, it was a tea bag. There are a couple of herbal tea brands that put messages on the tabs where you hold the tea bag. I had one pop up one day that said "Live to share." 

To live to share is “flowing grace”. That is, when sharing or giving is such a part of you that it is as natural as breathing. The best way to give to others is to do it without expectation or motive. You shouldn’t give to get favor with someone. When you give to expect a particular outcome, you will be disappointed when it doesn’t happen.  Plus, you may find it's just not as satisfying in the long run.

So, what are some of the things that we can share?

- First of all, you guessed it, share words of encouragement. Time and time again, I know of so many instances where just simply saying "I liked..." or "I remember when you did..." made a person's day because of the joy of being thought of.

- Share your gifts. What are the gifts and talents in your life that you can share? Are there places or instances where you can use these in a way that you never have before?

-Share a spirit of benevolence. I know of one healing protocol that advocates doing good for others. In particular, if you are going through a rough patch, reaching out to those in need helps take the focus off your troubles and you could end up being a blessing to someone else. 

- Share your experience and knowledge. There could be someone out there whose tasks could be made easier and could be more successful with a little help from something you know or have some expertise with. 

Try to live to share and make your world--and someone else's-- a bit better.

Be an encourager...and be encouraged!
