When you do your best in an endeavor you are giving a gift to others. A gift that has no expected reward or compensation.
We can perform the art of giving in everything we do. Cleaning the kitchen after a meal and making it shine. Listening carefully to a friend in pain. Smiling and making eye contact with your dentist. This is true art, giving something of yourself to make things better for others.
Interestingly when we exhibit true art we benefit even though there is no expectation. The dentist is gentler. Your family spends more time in the kitchen with you. Your friend listens carefully to you when you need a sympathetic ear.
Be an artist and give the gift of yourself to others.
