15 Inspiring Quotes About Giving | SUCCESS

Nurture the virtues of your eternal soul, those attributes that are eternal. Share your best, make it your goal, let them manifest from the internal. Let others see what will unfold, as it extends from within to the external. Share the creative energy, as you’ve been told, open your mind like a ripe kernel. Allow your thoughts to flow like a river, share your gifts, be a giver. Don’t hold back, it’s time to deliver, use all the arrows in your quiver. Nothing you’re given is meant to be held, and never a time for talents to be shelved.

When I was younger, I know I was sometimes guilty of writing what I think would be better received instead of just being who I am. Have a wonderful day, Bill

I don't consciously do that anymore, but probably do let it influence the topics of my poetry at times. Better to be who we are, my friend. Have a nice evening. Bill

My dear friend Bill, your sonnet serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of nurturing and sharing the virtues and talents that reside within each of us. The call to manifest these attributes from the internal and let them extend outward is a poignant invitation to embrace authenticity and generosity in our interactions with the world..

What a brilliant write this is dear bill, the depth of what youv delivered here is what stands out for me the most. As im a giver too, and i also believe that nothing given is ever too much, when it is for the right purpose. Intentions matter alot in life. And your lines such as “ share your gifts, be a giver. Don’t hold back, it’s time to deliver, use all the arrows in your quiver.“ wow! Those rhymes and how youv said share your gifts truly is powerful! I hope many will read and think. FAVE

To me it is more blessed to give than receive. I try to be gracious when others give to me, but I'd much rather get to give to them. I believe the intention of one's action are often more powerful than the action itself. Thank you for giving me inspiration with your kind thoughts and of course for the FAV! Love and light my island friend. Bill

Sonnets truly are your forte, hubby. This one is exceptional; it's soulful and reminds me of the Biblical story of the 'talents.' I liked: 'allow your thoughts to flow like a river...share your gifts, be a giver.' That's you! hugs, me PS exceptional rhyme scheme...thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Hey Bill, I love philosophy poems and I preach virtue in a world who rejects it. Virtue speaks volumes about embracing our inner treasures and sharing them with the world. Your words ignite a fire within, urging us to unleash our potential and give generously of ourselves. It’s a beautiful journey to let our virtues shine brightly, enriching the lives of others. Keep inspiring with your wisdom and poetic spirit!- Blessings, Daniel

Thanks for the likeminded comments, my friend. The world loves the darkness for their deeds are evil. For me and mine, it's Love, Light, Honesty, Truth, Hope, & Peace while acknowledging our Creator God. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
