So many entitled people these days. It makes me so sad. It ranges from the attitude of people with jobs, Or how people go about giving.
When we give, we often expect something in return.
Yes, We EXPECT Something In Return...
Whether it's a "Thank you" or money, Or some kind of reciprocation in the future.
The thing is, If it's truly a "gift" then nothing should be expected in return.
But the thing is most of the time, Consciously or subconsciously we are expecting something...
This leads to inflated expectations and disappointment when we ultimately don't get what we want.
Learn To Give Freely
When you give freely, people will appreciate it more. Also, you'll be able to let go of that odd and dragging "responsibility" that the person you gave to, Somehow owes you something. It's a better feeling too Because you can feel good about what you did. And not worry about what may or may not be done for you.
Don't Give What You Can't Give
Sometimes we give too much, And we are left with too little. This is when those feelings come into play even more.
We need to be careful about how much we give, Giving too much leaves us with too little. While giving too little will give us less joy that comes from giving.
So make sure you are taken care of first, Then give what you can.
It's Not Always Financial
I hate it when people say "They don't have the Money to give."
Well, certainly you can give time? Or Things, Or whatever it is you are good at.
There are many charities and events which could use an extra hand. Or heck, Just pick up garbage on the ground when you see it. It doesn't even need to be "organized." When you go to the store and see an extra cart in the wrong place, Grab it and put yours and someone else carts back, The employee at the store will have one less thing to worry about because of your generosity.
Small things add up.
Everyone has something to give!
