Life is a Boomerang. What you give is what you get! Givers never lack. They will always have something to give. Giving is one of the secret of success that has only been identified by few people. Giving is the master key to success in all applications of human life. We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give. ‘No one has ever become poor by giving’ (Anne Frank). The heart that gives will always attract good things and good people. Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have. ‘If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way’ (Buddha). No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted. Take it or leave it, giving will always open the way for you to receive. A kind gesture can heal a wound that only compassion can reach. ‘When you learn, teach. When you get, give’ (Maya Angelou). ‘Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present’ (Albert Einstein). Sometimes, a small thing you do can mean everything in a person’s life. It is what you sow that you will reap. For me, I have learned to give not because I have much but because I know exactly how it feels to have nothing. Giving is not all about making a donation; it is about making a difference. The truth is, the habit of giving, only enhance the desire to give. Love is borne through the giving of kindness. The bible says, there is he that withhold, yet remain poor and there is he that scatters and yet gathers much. Don’t expect to receive if you are not willing to give.‘The law of giving is very simple. If you want joy, give joy. If love is what you seek, offer love, and if you want material affluence, help others become prosperous’ (Deepak Chopra)
Giving does necessarily
have to do with money likewise receiving. Just make sure it is something that
is useful to that person at the particular time you are giving it. No matter
how small it is you are giving, inasmuch as it is genuine, it goes a long way
to touch the person’s heart. The manner of giving is however worth than the
gift you are giving itself. The only giving that touches the heart, is the one
borne out of love. Anything that is of value in life, only multiplies when it
is given. You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.
Sometimes, the act of giving something to others is an art of flowering your
heart. ‘Give but give until it hurts’ (Mother Theresa). Among other benefit,
giving liberates the soul of the giver. As Christians, what God expects from us
when he blesses us financially is to raise our standard of giving not our
standard of living. When you raise your standard of giving, your standard of
living automatically rises. As you grow older, you will discover you have two
hands. One for helping yourself, and the other for helping others’ You give but
little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that
you truly give. (Kahlil Gibran).
By giving our best, the best of what is offered is
given in return. What we do for ourselves dies with us, but what we do for
others and the world remains and it’s immortal (meaning that it can never be
forgotten). ‘Giving connects two people. The giver and the receiver, and this
connection give birth to a new sense of belonging’ (Deepak Chopra). The thing
is, some of us don’t know the power in giving. We benefits most when we give.
You don’t give because you have excess and you just feel like it. You give even
if it will affect you simply because you see it as a necessity to do it. Those
who have developed the habit of giving will not think twice before giving; they
gladly give even when it is not comfortable because to them, giving is a
privilege. Give more, risk more and inspire more. One thing that is always
helping me to give is to pretend as if I never own what I’m about to give out.
So I’m never tired of giving because it has always helped me even in some ways
I’d never expected. To me, the most important gift I can ever give out and
enjoy giving is to give of myself. Giving of my time, my comfort, my knowledge,
services and my smile just to help another person is one of my biggest sources
of happiness and fulfilment. This is because I have discovered over the years
that when I put a smile n someone’s face, I automatically put a smile on my
face too. ‘Real
Generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out’ (Frank
Clark) Learn the attitude of giving. Its reward is refreshing. Love only
grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to
others. I think some of us need to be poor to know the luxury of giving; maybe
it is through it that we can learn what giving does to the receiver. “Practice
giving things away, not just things you don't care about, but things you do
like. Remember, it is not the size of a gift, it is its quality and the amount
of mental attachment you overcome that count. So don't bankrupt yourself on a
momentary positive impulse, only to regret it later. Give small things,
carefully, and observe the mental processes going along with the act of
releasing the little thing you liked’ (Robert Thurman). Everything we are and
have was given to us; yes, you might have work very hard for those things but
if we are not privileged, we wouldn’t have those things. So stop being selfish.
Cultivate the habit of giving; especially the type that doesn’t expect anything
in return.........
