Deep dives
The Joy of Generosity
Generosity is presented as a pathway to experiencing a joy-filled life and deepening one's connection to God's presence. Research indicates that generous individuals tend to be happier, healthier, and more invested in personal growth. For instance, studies show that acts of giving can activate the same brain centers as pleasurable activities, enhancing feelings of happiness. This counters the common belief that happiness stems solely from wealth accumulation, emphasizing instead that the true joy found in life comes from sharing what one has with others.
