Give without expectation to receive

Giving is this contradictory activity that we all have to get comfortable with.

For some people giving is natural, other have to develop a mindset that will allow them to do something beyond themselves.

However the most important thing we all have to do is to detach from the thought that if we help somebody, we're going to receive something back.

That's not necessarily true, and the earlier you teach yourself to let it go, the better and simpler your life will become.

There are two points I want to highlight here though.

The first is that eventually some good stuff will come back to you. It may not necessarily come from the same person but it is going to come back.

The second thing that you may not know is that if you choose to give something, give something that you want to receive.

If you want to get support, give it to somebody. If you want to get love, give that. If you want to get abundance, be grateful for what you already have.

My main point is that giving feels good, like really good. So don't limit yourself ftp a pleasure that you deserve. It is a win-win.

Honestly >>> Very good

I loved reading this, it's definitely something people should start doing a lot more. Nothings feels worse than when someone helps you and start pressuring you to give something in return, even for a the smallest favour D:

thanks, absolutely agreed with you. I don't like people like that as well. Sometimes I may catch myself on this mind that I can ask something from somebody but then I stop :)

I think this one of healthiest way to live and this remember me about a short video that you can find it here:

But also, when you give something instead to ask something back you can ask to pay it forward, and this also remember me by an other interesting video:


Congrats for the article!
