What I’m Learning about Generosity: Part 10

Generosity Principle #10:  Generosity is contagious.


 


I have saved the best one for last!  There is a contagious element to generosity.  In other words, when we live generously, we make it hard for others NOT to live generously as well!  Our generosity motivates others in 2 ways:


 


1.  When someone receives generosity, they want to be generous as well.


 


2.  When someone sees generosity in action, they are motivated to be generous.


 


So as we close the door on a “generous” portion of blogs on generosity (I couldn’t resist!!! Come on it’s day 10) Here’s my final challenge to us as leaders seeking to live generous lives…


 


? How will your life be more generous in 60 days? 


 


? What conversations do you need to have to keep bring accountability to your generosity?


 


? In what 3 specific ways will you begin to live a more generous life?


 


Examples:  tithing, volunteering, giving what you don’t need anymore, teaching your experiences to younger leaders, etc.


 


The list is endless of ways we can live generous lives.  Everyone wants to follow a generous leader, let’s be that for the people we lead!   Have a great weekend.


 





Just a bloggish thought,
