It is better to give than to receive – something my father would always remind me of when I was younger.
When I was a child, I thought this was just a bunch of nonsense and haven’t fully understood the practice of simply giving and not expecting or wanting anything in return, especially when I have enough to offer.
I’ve learned that giving doesn’t always have to be about providing something of monetary value to others, such as food, water, donations, supplies, gifts, etc.
Giving Can Be As Simple As
Respect,
A place to stay,
Kindness,
Hugs,
A lending hand,
Honesty,
A listening & non-judgmental ear,
Hope,
Laughter & happiness,
Care,
Forgiveness,
A smile,
Compliments,
Passion,
Acceptance & open-mindedness,
Memories,
Appreciation & acknowledgment,
Positive thoughts,
Knowledge & experience,
Encouragement,
Paying someone’s kindness forward (to someone else who needs it),
Words of comfort and wisdom,
Your time,
Being yourself,
Prayer.
Giving does not have to be grand or expensive.
The most valuable things we give are just as worthy as the things we receive. As long as we’re giving with our hearts and pure intentions, our simple act of kindness may be a life-changing wish for someone else. And I think that as long as we continue giving this way, we will never feel any lack in our lives.
Give for as long as you have enough to offer.
Do one random act of kindness each day and experience the world heal and glow.
