I decided to gift a set of new clothes to the children at the local shelter today, and their excitement was the best Dhanteras gift I could have received. It made me realize that the true purpose of prosperity is to be able to lift others up and share the light whenever we can. My home feels so much brighter tonight knowing that I could bring a little bit of festive cheer to someone else's world. May your life be a source of light for others and may your kindness come back to you in ways you never imagined.
