Be Magnanimous and Start Loving Yourself Again

Would you like to learn how to be magnanimous? Magnanimous is a virtue that we all want to practice. We have heard about it from the wise men, but in this article, we will be exploring just how to practice it and show how doing so will benefit us and others.


Are you wondering what being magnanimous means? Being magnanimous simply means treating others with kindness. It is about showing kindness to those around us and extending kindness to ourselves. A person who is magnanimous displays a high degree of generosity. This generosity is demonstrated by reciprocating kindness to others. So if you are wondering how you can practice generosity toward others and feel good about yourself at the same time, then being magnanimous is probably right for you!

Another way in which magnanimous people are thought to be generous is that they have a high sense of self-worth. You may not be aware of this, but a very large number of individuals consider themselves to be wealthy. Others consider themselves to be poor. The difference between having high self-worth and poor self-worth is generosity.

How does one go about acting generously? A good place to start is to identify exactly why you want to give. You must be able to visualize the results that you want to achieve. If you want to help others, then the best thing that you can do is to extend kindness to others. Do not think in terms of getting something back in return for what you have done. By acting in a generous manner, you will be able to show kindness to others without expecting anything in return.

Another step that you can take to become magnanimous is to remember your own generosity. For instance, if you are a very generous person, then it follows that you also display a high degree of kindness to your friends and family. You will find that if you regularly extend kindness to others, they will reciprocate your good fortune. That said, if you are not extremely generous with your time and resources, then you may not feel inclined to extend kindness to others. Remember, the difference between being generous and being miserly is your perception of others' kindness.

Finally, observe your own behavior. For many people, kindness is demonstrated by acting with honor and dignity when you know that you hurt someone else. In contrast, if you are rude in addition to acting with lack of honor and dignity, then you are demonstrating a lack of kindness. Thus, you should make sure that you are always in a position to demonstrate respect when you know that you have been hurt.

Magnanimous behavior is a natural outgrowth of generosity. However, you can teach yourself to act more generosityately by paying attention to how you treat those who you are fond of. Are a 'great teddy bear' and show kindness to all those around you. Don't criticize those who are different from yourself. Be magnanimous in your thought and action.

Magnanimous behavior will earn you respect and favor. It will set you apart as a person with an enlightened view of others. And, above all, it will earn you love and favor. Never forget what Napoleon Hill wrote in his book Think and Grow Rich: "When a man does great things, people will remember him." So, learn to be magnanimous - stop worrying about what other people think of you, and start thinking about doing great things for them!

When others are being kind to you, appreciate them; tell them how much they mean to you. Show them that you 'really do care about them'. You'll soon find that you are not so stressed about whether or not you're being thought of favorably. In fact, you'll actually get pleasure from doing good deeds.

Magnanimous acts also have positive benefits. Not only will you find yourself becoming more respected, appreciated, and loved; but, you'll also be a happier person. Being kind often leads to better health and greater happiness. In addition, by helping others, you will develop a stronger sense of self-esteem.


Magnanimous kindnesses are not easy to do, but the rewards are great. And, they're very easy to do - and remember. Stop worrying about what others think of you. Start thinking about how beautiful life is the way you look at it. You will soon find that the world accepts and loves you for who you are.
