10. Decision #10: GENEROSITY: “Today’s generosity gives me significance”
Plan for and model generosity daily.
Why be generous:
1. Giving turns your focus outwards.
2. Giving adds value to others. Greatness: Not how many people who serve you but how many people you serve.
3. Giving helps the giver. It gives you meaning, purpose and joy.
“I will live to give.” Greatness is defined by what you give, not what you receive.
1. Give others your money. How you handle money colors every area of your life. Your heart and attention is where your money is.
2. Give people your self. Undivided attention is more valuable than money. Mentoring is more valuable than money.
Remind yourself every day to add value to others.
1. Value people: treat everyone with respect.
2. Know what people value: listen and seek to understand others.
3. Make myself more valuable: grow in order to be able to give. (You can’t give what you don’t have.)
4. Do things that God values: love others unconditionally.
What you do for others and the world last for eternity.
