Giving!

Thoughts about giving…

A friend of mine sent me this eye catching quote below about giving and made me think. Well , I felt victim calling myself emotional hostage. Yes, often times social media friends and even relatives we never met take advantage by asking help not once but many times armored by their sad stories. There is nothing wrong in giving but be careful not to be trapped being taken advantage of.

“I learned to give not because
I have much but because I know exactly how it feels to have nothing.” Author unknown

My mind raced coming up with more thoughts to embellish the subject…

“Life’s persistent and most urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'” Martin Luther King, Jr.

And these final thoughts..

Giving is powerful. Many people will attempt to prevent you from taking, yet no one can stop you from giving as much as you wish.

Give, and you increase the value that flows through your life. Give of yourself, and you make yourself stronger.

Every time you interact with someone else, you have the opportunity to give that person some kind of value. Whether it is a thing, or a thought, a gesture or a kind word, the most powerful gifts are those that come straight from the heart.

Many will appreciate your gifts and some will not, but that is not the point. For it is the sincere act of giving, not how the gift is received, that brings value and goodness to your world.

As you give more and more, you have more to give. As the joy of giving flows out from you, new richness fills your life.

Each moment is an opportunity to engage the beautiful, loving power of giving. Give your best and you’ll get even better.

Happy Birthday to me!! Another year and I’m thankful!
