G: Gain, Greed and Generosity

Every organization, whether for-profit or non-profit, is in its line of business in order to gain something. It’s most likely stated in their vision statement. My vision statement, for example, is:

The fulfillment of the human spirit through the empowerment of every individual on the planet.

This vision requires an acquisition of fulfillment and personal empowerment.

Gain

Whether to gain access to clean water, political power, or one’s capacity to lead effectively, we are all out to gain.

With the economic downturn, businesses are facing major dilemmas. On the one hand, the choice-makers face potential loss of everything they’ve gained. All too often, this drives them to act in ways they believe will protect them from loss. Fear drives them to act in haste, making choices that may not be in alignment with their original vision. People make interesting choices when they are afraid.

ooooooooo

How can we embody the generosity we so wish to experience?

I have the following three suggestions:

1. Smile more often, even when you are challenged by your circumstances;

2. Notice your desire to complain about anything and everything;

3. Notice if what you do inspires generosity of spirit in your own heart. If it doesn’t, consider doing something else.

Know that each and every one of us comes into our work environment anticipating and hoping that we will experience generosity of spirit from those we engage with during the course of our day. Like Scrooge, many of us don’t have the capacity to even share a smile. See if you can share compassion to those who have less capacity to be giving of their hearts. Your compassion may be the most generous gift of the day. You may gain far more from that activity than you ever imagined.
