All’s Well that Begins Well | MWM
All Is Well That Begins Well = The word beginning speaks of anticipation—a fresh start. Your attitude on the front end of something new, determines your success on the back end. When you start something, begin with a positive thought. 






Beginnings are always hopeful—a fresh start, a new home, the birth of a child, a new job. There’s always an air of optimism that surrounds starting over with a blank slate—so much opportunity, potential and expectations for the future. You can determine to make a brand-new start from wherever you are now, today—and with the right start, you can have the perfect end.




The New Year is all about a new beginning—it’s why we are drawn to the extravagant celebration and festivities; it’s what keeps us up, counting down until midnight, to witness the start of our something new! But you don’t have to wait for the first of January each year to start over. If you aren’t satisfied with the way things are, change them—make a decision to begin again now.



In trying times, begin each moment with a positive thought. Today is your day to do anything you want! You may be feeling a sense of confusion or perhaps you're feeling a sense of positivity, whatever it may be, try to see the light in it.


Happy New Year! Just like that, another year has come and gone. Today is YOUR day to start fresh, create a new beginning. Take a few moments to yourself today and reflect on all you have achieved, mistakes or challenges you have faced and focus on how you want to continue to grow and invest in yourself this next year.

Generosity Quotes

Quotes About Generosity
  • Generosity is a quality that many men admire. But if a prince develops a reputation for generosity, he will ruin his state. A reputation for generosity requires outward lavishness, which eventually depletes all of the prince’s resources. In the end, the prince will be forced to burden his people with excessive taxes in order to raise the money to maintain his reputation for generosity. Ultimately, the prince’s liberality will make the people despise and resent him. ~Niccolò Machiavelli
  • Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting. --PRINCESS ELIZABETH ASQUITH BIBESCO
  • Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. --Khalil Gibran
  • Generosity is a function of the heart, not the wallet. --Wayne Dyer
  • Generosity is doing something for someone else and expecting nothing in return.






Comparison Kills Generosity | MWM
https://youtu.be/Vz30y6Uhfso?list=UULFcY4omYaHiAMk7x4mNcQmpg
Give Others What You Value = There is no higher level of living than giving without expecting anything in return. People who embody generosity experience incredible freedom and happiness. Comparison kills generosity. The measure of your generosity is based on what you have, not what you give. Don’t let possessions take charge of your mind. If you are enslaved to greed, you cannot lead. 



A Person Who Gives is a Person Who’s Fulfilled
https://youtu.be/AE_Y0jyyMeY
Be Happy, Be Generous! = The happiest people in the world are generous. People who give are fulfilled. We were created to help one another and to share. When we act out who we are supposed to be, it gives us a sense of fulfillment in following that purpose. Give more to the people you see today!



Be Generous, Give Back What You Earn = Be generous with your money. As you are building your life and businesses, always strive to have three sources of income. And then give back what you can financially to others. Being generous with your money allows you to serve others and help those you otherwise wouldn't have been able to help. You can't give what you don't have, and once you earn more, pass it on. 




Generosity Gives Back To All = By living a generous life, you set aside time and resources to give to others. This practice will not only benefit others, but also benefit you. Based on the practice of tithing, you give 10% of what you have back to God. You need to have an open hand in life in order to give more and accept more in life, giving what you have where it is needed most.

Generosity
Generosity is an attitude = Generosity doesn’t have anything to do with blessings or money, it is an attitude. There are people who have very little, but are always sharing what they have with others. There are others who have a lot, but hold on tightly to what is theirs. What kind of person are you? Are you a generous person, opening yourself to receive more?



Success Stabilizers

A person that owns their money, instead of their money owning them. No matter how much you have, pass along a little bit of wisdom or wealth to help others succeed.





Become a river... allow others to share the greatness with you. Be a giver, it will be your greatest joy, no matter how little or how much you have!
