Its a beautiful concept – the reason
being, the joy derived from giving is so much more fulfilling compared to
receiving.
We are receiving at every moment –
from the time we rise in the morning to the moment we return back to the state
of sleeping. We receive the daily morning sun, our clean clothes ready to be
put on, a morning meal (breakfast), our
intact faculties that take us through our daily tasks (be it at work or home)
and the list goes on……
But, how much are we giving everyday….to
receive our daily blessings……
But then yet, we still receive. That's
the love and compassion of the Creator towards His dear Creation.
For a start, let us express
GRATITUDE (sincerely) for the little blessings we receive every day – a simple
Thank You would do for the little favours that we receive in a day. Please do
not let go of an opportunity to ‘thank’ someone/something.
Thus, with this, now that we are
getting into a ‘GIVING’ mode, let us
take this further, and start to GIVE a bit of ourselves AWAY everyday – a bit of our anger, jealousy, doubt, fear,
greed, frustration, impatience and a bit of the ‘mask’ that we put up to
portray the person we would like to be. The reason being – the above
characteristics does not reflect our TRUESELF.
Now, in return, we would RECEIVE – a
more peaceful self, kind, compassionate, understanding, confident, fearless,
patient and the list goes on. And we will begin to see our TRUESELF being
revealed to us. And trust me, we will once again, begin to love Ourselves, in
the real sense.
ALL THE BEST!! The initial steps of giving
away a bit of ourselves, may require loads of effort and discipline, but once you
find the right road and end up on the highway back home – its just a straight
road, then!!
