Giving is always the ultimate gift
Human nature is naturally selfish. We love to receive. It’s also easiest to receive and can feel more rewarding, but once you disown this belief, you will quickly recognize that giving is the ultimate gift.
Generosity naturally produces more generosity. But if you’re constantly receiving, you will dry up your well of receiving generosity from others.
Never give with the expectation of receiving, but give because of the positive feelings it produces within you and the positive effects it will have on the recipient. Often the positive effects on the receiver lead them to demonstrate that generosity to someone else; generosity creates a domino effect.
The best gift in the world is the ability to give to someone else.
