Give Hospitality July 15, 2025 By Taylor Scott GIVING Hospitality with Experiences

An experience is something that you do or that happens to you, especially something important that affects you.  It’s living through certain events, observing and feeling something in the moment.

Remember this saying: “No challenge, no change.”  

For example, the first time we experience a disappointing situation – a bad grade on a test, a best friend moves away, losing a game, or worse, losing a job, or an argument with someone we love – it’s extremely hard to deal with it.  

We have a difficult time coping with our feelings and thoughts.  

However, what happens next time?  After having been challenged with the prior experience, we still feel the disappointment or sadness in certain situations, but we have more confidence in our ability to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and keep moving ahead, because we’re still standing despite the sadness we experienced last time.  

We’ve grown.  We’ve matured.  And we believe we can still move on and move forward in our lives to experience even more – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

With each experience, we learn more about ourselves, how to process our emotions, and how to positively interact with other people. 

Experiences – Good, Bad, or Ugly – GIVE us Moments that Matter

Moments that Matter:

GIVE us joy – Elevating our emotions in a positive and enjoyable way

Impact us positively– We become impressed with ourselves and others as we fill up with pride, the good pride

Vision – We gain insight and learning into what could be, should be, or even what we can accomplish with a clear vision for a future we can create

Equality – We realize the power of human connection, and we realize that regardless of differences in race, color, creed, religion, or orientation, we really are more alike than we are different.  

The more we can experience connection with others, through meaningful conversation, despite how different we may be on the outside, the more we’ll experience positive emotions of appreciation, gratitude, and respect on the inside.  

Experiencing these moments – big and small – helps shape our ability to create positive experiences for everyone with whom we interact, wherever we go in life.

And our experience is always better when we’re together, united rather than divided.

All this to say, what a fulfilling and joyful opportunity it is for all of us to intentionally 

CREATE THESE MOMENTS THAT MATTER FOR OTHERS …

Give Joy

Impact others’ experiences in a positive way

Vision can open someone’s eyes, heart, and maybe their whole world.  Share yours.

Equality is possible when we embrace humanness – ours, theirs, EVERYBODY’S.

We’d love to hear your stories of how your friends, coworkers, students, or family members have shown you hospitality, or how you’ve taken it upon yourself to Give Hospitality to others. Share your stories on your favorite social media platform and use the hashtag #GiveHospitalityBook so we can see your post.

Have a great day, and never stop living, working, and loving from a place of GENEROSITY.
