"Capital wants us to believe we are what we sell. But we are what we give away."
Jorge Reichmann
I think I like this one because it focuses on the notion of giving things away.
Over time I have come to realise that the character trait I admire most in people is generosity. Generosity of spirit enables so much; it shares so much, it is so open and honest. It is just a marvellous thing to come across and I have found it in so many of my friends.
It is the exact opposite of meanness and competitiveness.
Generosity of spirit manifests in every aspect of a person's being,and they bring it as an approach to nearly everything they do.
He suggests that the true spirit of a person is found in what they give away. For me, it may not actually be the 'what' but more perhaps in the action - simply that they give.
They may give time, they may give humour, they may give money when its needed, they may give baking, they may give labour, they may give what they can. But it is there in the fact that they give.

You know them...folks with hearts that give.

ReplyDeleteAnd to you and Rod to Mo. x
DeleteI just got a book from the library entitled "Radical kindness: the life-changing power of giving and receiving" ... a lesson I keep learning, distilled in the words you've shared here: "we are what we give away"
ReplyDeleteI love the notion of radical kindness Liz!
