Generosity
 Carefully managing my resources so I can freely give to those in need

vs. Stinginess

Pelican
The pelican is so well equipped to catch fish that it catches enough for itself and others. Though other birds steal fish right out of the pelican's mouth, the pelican never complains or seeks revenge.

I WILL:

  • Share resources.

  • Carefully manage resources to allow greater generosity.

  • Don't expect anything in return for generosity.

  • Invest time and talents in others.

  • Take time to praise the good in others.

Quote
"He who allows his day to pass by without practicing generosity...is like a blacksmith's bellows--he breathes but does not live."

-Sanskrit Proverb
