In a time of rapid and vast changes in the way we interact with one another, there is great power in being generous without any expectation of anything being received in return.

We live in a world that often tells us to take as much as we can get, so to give with no strings attached is one of the greatest gifts someone can offer.

It takes an abundance mindset and an understanding that you are no less valuable by giving something away without expecting repayment—and more often than not, it creates a connection that goes beyond material goods.

The next time you have the opportunity to be generous, challenge yourself to go beyond your comfort zone and give without any expectation of what’s coming back your way.
