On Being Generous

I am a selfish person. My wife, Lesa, will disagree with me because she knows I would do anything for my family. Please don't get the wrong idea. Almost everyone I know would disagree with my assessment. What I am referring to is that voice inside that tells me I should hold too tight instead of giving. I programmed Rootein to send me a daily reminder to my email inbox; Be generous to someone. I am very happy with the results. After almost three months of daily reminders I have a new voice speaking to me. This voice is constantly reminding me to keep watch for an opportunity to be generous. This week I had a conversation with a person whose spouse works for a well known radio personality. She spoke highly of this person saying that he is one of the most generous people she has ever known. I gave an elderly man directions and he replied, "Thank you for your kindness." You may ask, "What does this have to do with The Sales Moment?" Every truly successful person I know is generous. They are generous with their time, money, advice and resources. I have a good friend who speaks often of the law of the harvest and how he holds everything in his life with an open hand. He and his wife are two of the most successful and happiest people I have ever known. As Easter approaches, I think about the ultimate generosity God bestowed us and I am humbled. Have a good and generous week!
