Give. It's such a simple word, but with a big meaning.
There are times when we rationalize why we should not give.
For instance:
It might be when you are frustrated with another person and you want to guard your position and not give in.
It could be something you materially want, but not need. To give up on the want could open up new possibilities that help others or simply bring them joy.
Possibly you have plans for "your time", but at a moments notice someone asks for your help. You could choose to stick to your plans or help.
To guard and act upon our immediate wants is to let our ego rule. To let greed of our time, things, and perspectives lead us.
However, ego is a good thing. In Moderation! Ego keeps us from being taken advantage of and helps us to follow our own true path in life.
The practice is:
To know the difference. To know when to give. To know know ourselves.
Practice what "Give" means to you.
Then simply, give.
