What We’re Choosing to Give This Year

A New Year’s Note on the Intention to Give with Awareness and Meaning

The beginning of the year always brings a new kind of air, a quiet space where we can ask ourselves: what do we want to give this time? Not a long list of resolutions, nor obligations that arise from habit, but an intention that grows from the awareness to give with a whole heart.

Along our journey, we slowly understand that giving is not merely an action. It is how we build connection, a relationship deeper than mere formality or small talk. Giving is when we show up—truly show up—with sincere time, wholehearted attention, and kindness that flows without needing to be announced.

However, in the midst of our intention to give, there is something equally important: awareness of ourselves. We learn that giving does not have to empty us to the point of exhaustion. Giving is not a force; it grows beautifully when it comes from a spacious place within. When we maintain boundaries, protect our energy, and stay rooted in ourselves, what we give can flow more clearly—without burden, without conditions.

This year, we choose to give more calmly—without expecting anything in return, without calculation, without waiting for anyone to repay us.

Because we learn that the true meaning is not in what comes back to us, but in what flows through us. Kindness that comes from a conscious and sincere place will always find its way, even when we do not see its results directly.

And perhaps that is the essence of our intention to give this year—that every presence, every moment, every kindness we release is part of our process of becoming human beings who love more, understand more, and feel more connected to the world around us.

The start of this year is a gentle reminder that giving is not about proving anything, but about becoming someone. Becoming someone who chooses to be present. Someone who chooses to understand. Someone who chooses to share without losing themselves.

This is what we choose to give this year: conscious kindness, sincere presence, and a heart that remains full as it gives.
