generously anticipating experiences

When you generously anticipate an experience:

  • you contribute to experiences to maximize generosity / celebration
  • you ensure it is a generous experience / generous undesirable experience
  • you create more free time
  • you inspire people close to you to respond generously

anticipating generous experiences

When you anticipate that an experience will be generous (like a birthday party), contributing ensures that generosity is maximized.

anticipating natural generous undesirable experiences

The following presents some natural generous undesirable experiences and what you can do to prepare yourself. From the following, you will be able to apply what you learn to other natural generous undesirable experiences. Some might even become generous experiences.

example natural generous undesirable experiences how to prepare yourself
winter, rain have the right provisions and have them available when there is a potential
death love now
embrace the emotions
fires, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes if there is a potential, have a plan
hunger, thirst, tiredness listen to your body

Take the death of a loved one as an example (a generous undesirable experience). Since people you love will die, love them now. When you love that person thoroughly, you are filling the gaps so that when that person is gone, you will be as prepared are you are able to be.

anticipating undesirable experiences created by people

The best way to anticipate undesirable experiences created by people is to understand the following:

  • an undesirable experience can trigger another undesirable experience and so on and so on
  • replacing a misguided habit with a generous habit takes time
  • breaking the sequence of undesirable experiences with generosity is better than letting it continue

Remembering the above prepares you to automatically respond generously to undesirable experiences.

Since breaking the sequence is best earlier on in the sequence, inspiring others of generosity is worthwhile.

creating more free time

The more free time you have, the less likely you will have a lack of time (and the less likely you will create generous undesirable experiences).

Maintain free time to minimize the likelihood of having a lack of time.

  • be wise about what you start as it can lead to having too much to attend to
  • achieve in the present moment to prevent having to do extra work to achieve the same result
  • ensure you have free time at least weekly (otherwise, you have a lack of time)

inspiring others

Inspiring others is a way to anticipate unknown undesirable experiences.
