When you picture being really generous with your time or money, what do you tell yourself has to happen first before you're 'allowed' to?
If That Day Never Comes
Larson says the world will always tell you you don't have enough yet, so that 'first I need to' day may never fully arrive. If you wait for it your whole life, what's the giving you'll never have done? And who's the person you'd have become if you'd started now instead?
More Than A Check
Generosity isn't only money. Which of these could you give this week that's already in your hands, no 'someday' required?
The Number You Don't Track

Set Aside, Then Give
Larson keeps a small 'give generously' stash so he can act on the spot. What small amount of time or money will you set aside this week, and who exactly is it for?
