Give and You Shall Receive

There are so many ways of giving. You can give your time and you can give your money. You can give to people you don’t know through charitable organizations. You can give to groups that support your philosophy or values.

The saying goes, “The more you give, the more you shall receive.” This is very true, because giving allows the free flowing movement of more of the same. Give with no expectation of getting anything back. Give because it feels good and it is a way of expressing your gratitude for someone or something that made you feel good.

Did your religious leader inspire you today, leaving you feeling uplifted and renewed? Then give to your religious affiliation. Did a motivational speaker change your perspective on how your life is going? Then give of yourself to inspire someone else’s life.

Just think of someone who made you feel good about yourself, your dreams, your life and your goals and give them something from the heart. It’s like paying it forward.
In addition, when you give, you are training the brain that you have more than enough to give away, so that you are bypassing the notion of scarcity and lack.

Give money, if you want money. Give love, if you want love, give acceptance and tolerance, if you want the same. The secret to being successful in all these areas, is keeping them circulating in your life. The “Law of Tenfold Return” means that you will get back ten times what you give.

So, choose to give without expecting anything in return and be open to receiving everything that comes your way. By doing this, you are keeping the flow of good things coming into your life and to the lives of those around you. You will naturally be blessed with more “abundance” than you could ever dream possible.

What better exercise is there for the body, mind and spirit than reaching out to others? That is the true meaning of humanity. By giving to others, you are essentially giving to yourself - and the circle of life is complete.
