Bridget Kyalimpa, a social activist, philanthropist, and co-founder of the African Feminist Research Initiative for advocacy and development, takes us on a journey of discovery, learning about the art of giving and the benefits that come with it, as well as how leaders can lead with love and empathy while pursuing their goal of giving.
“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” — Winston S. Churchill
Bridget believes that the more we give of ourselves, the more we discover about ourselves. We've all experienced how wonderful it is to receive gifts. However, the delight of receiving is fleeting. When we share, our lives become richer, and there is enormous inner delight in helping others improve their lives. Giving from the heart brings us delight and feeds our spirits. It brings with it an inherent joy that is considerably more precious than what we give to others.
The act of true giving is something wonderful and amazing. With most things in this world, there is only a limited amount of what we can give away. Fortunately, generosity and compassion are not bound to these same material limitations.
“To find yourself, lose yourself in the service of others.” _ Mahatma Gandhi
