  Dot com Welcome to the Daily Quote, a podcast designed to
• 0:09
  kick start your day in a positive way.
• 0:12
  I'm our host Anna McGivern for July 15th.
• 0:15
  Today is national Give Something Away day, which might sound like
• 0:20
  a cue to finally part ways with that vintage treadmill doubling
• 0:24
  as a coat rack. But beyond the spring cleaning
• 0:27
  vibes, this day is really about generosity, about shifting the
• 0:32
  spotlight off of what you have and onto what you can offer.
• 0:38
  That brings me to today's quote from the everwise Khalil Gibran,
• 0:43
  Lebanese American poet, writer and philosopher who once said
• 0:50
  you give but little. When you give your possessions,
• 0:54
  it is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
• 1:00
  Now that's a line that cuts right to the heart, doesn't it?
• 1:05
  Sure, giving away an old pair of jeans or an extra coffee mug is
• 1:08
  a good start. And if I'm honest, my kitchen
• 1:12
  could use the breathing room. We have a lot of coffee mugs.
• 1:17
  But the real power of giving isn't found in stuff.
• 1:21
  It's found in showing up, sharing your time, your
• 1:24
  patience, your attention, especially when it would be
• 1:28
  easier not to. Gibran reminds us that the most
• 1:32
  meaningful gifts are often the most invisible.
• 1:35
  A call to someone who needs to talk, a helping hand when no
• 1:39
  one's watching, or a smile that lifts someone else's mood.
• 1:45
  Those are the kinds of gifts that don't end up in a donation
• 1:48
  bin, but they are absolutely ending up in someone's heart.
• 1:53
  So today, give something away. Yes, even if it's just that
• 2:00
  third phone charger from a few phones back that you didn't
• 2:04
  realize you still had. But don't stop there.
• 2:08
  Give a little of you. That's where the magic happens.
• 2:13

• 2:17
  away too. Share it from your podcast app
