Everything we possess, our so called stuff, is temporary. We forget that we can’t take it with us. If we can’t take it with us, it was never ours to begin with. Think of everything we own as a loan, a gift from the universe, or what I call, ‘theboss’’.
The essence of what we hold—whether it be knowledge, wisdom, physical health, or material wealth—is not meant to be hoarded but rather shared. These gifts come with the inherent responsibility to be passed on.
The idea of sharing our stuff challenges the two survival stories that deceive us into thinking these things are ours to keep—that we own them. It’s like the hoarder’s disregard of the truth, clutching onto ‘mine’ like a spoiled child.
Here’s the curious truth that even resonates with the hoarder in us: when we muster the courage to share, every gift we possess multiplies in value. Feeling happy? Pass that joy onto someone else. Watch what happens next—their happiness increases and so does yours. It’s a two-for-one deal, a perfect example of ‘thebossissupergenerous’.
What are the precious things you believe you own that you could courageously share today?
