<p>True generosity is unconditional. Unconditional generosity is giving without anticipation of any kind of reciprocation, repayment, or even a thank you. At different times in your lives, you give for a variety of reasons. When you give, are you giving generously? Are you thinking that you are being generous when you are actually setting conditions to ensure you will benefit from your giving? In order to ascertain whether our giving or the giving of others is truly generous, look at the intentions of the heart. The question is not did you give, but "Did you give generously with no other motives?"</p>

<p>It's been verified that generosity begets generosity -- in other words, generosity spreads and transfers and has a 'pay it forward effect' many times over. Your one act of generosity toward an individual could reach and touch others who you could never have imagined. The generosity cycle has it's own momentum and spreads over a period of time as each person is impacted. So today, perform one act of true generosity.</p>
