Being generous

I saw this quote today and I love it.
"Attention is the rarest form of generosity." It's from Simone Weil.

Pay attention to your day, to your actions.
Be generous with yourself.
Be present.
Be attentive. Fully. Even for 5 minutes. See how it feels to be fully generous.

Mostly I do it by being me.  I started all of this really in the early 1990s as a volunteer fitness instructor with our local YMCA because of a fitness class I attended in the late 1980s {baby making years} - I thought, 'I could do that' and I did.  I took all the required courses (I believe proper training is important) and I began teaching classes, I then saw a need to do one on one training and began that -- at the time there were no real courses to support this desire,
