During the holiday season, thoughts of corporate Christmas parties, Secret Santa’s, gifts and giving are top of mind. But in true soulpepper fashion, we’d like to challenge accepted beliefs around the value of giving. By replacing the word “gift” with “generosity”.
We believe generosity is not based on one’s economic status, but instead, is an individual’s pure intention of looking out for society’s common good and giving from the heart. Reflecting a true passion to help others.
We also believe generosity precedes abundance and it’s something we strive to live here everyday. It works like this: Rather than waiting until we think we have enough money, time or resources to make a difference, we ask ourselves “what can we do today to bring generosity to the communities in which we live and serve?”
So we put a list together of something we all could do every day for a month in order to be more generous with others, the environment and yes, even ourselves. Maybe it will inspire you to do something new in the name of generosity. We guarantee if you approach it with a pure intention, and try to live it consistently everyday, the cumulative results will exceed anything you could imagine. And it doesn’t have to cost you a thing.
