There is always a part in our lives where we give and there is also the part where we receive. A popular saying made us know that "Givers never Lack" but with these following points i have drafted from real life experience, you will get to know the hidden truth about giving and receiving.
Before going deep into the main issue of the day, what exactly is giving?
Giving simply means to exchange possession. That is, taking something that is yours to someone else and making it their own.
Wikipedia defined it as an act of love, care and support. Support can be emotional, financial etc
Receiving means to take possession of something given to you.
Now what are these hidden truth about giving and receiving i speak of.
Generally, there are three type of givers,
- The ones that give and want something in return
- The ones that give totally because they want to give. These people don't want anything in return.
- the ones that only give to people that had helped them in the past or people that are special to them.
Now, these types of givers will always give but their blessings differ. Here is what giving can do for you.
Giving can change peoples perspective about you.
If you like, have the worst profile on earth, once you are a cheerful giver, people will always love you. There is this mark of positivity we get each time we see someone that gives a lot. That's the kind of impression people will get around you.
It opens doors and brings good luck.
A friend of mine was rushing to an
interview one particular day on a public transport, on the way, he saw a helpless boy in the street begging. He stopped the public transport just to give the boy some money. Everybody was shouting at him . the passengers, drivers and even the private car behind us was sounding the horn.
As he got to the office for the interview, the man looked at him and said " you took 20 seconds of my time giving to that young boy. We are looking for someone that will help in the distribution of funds to orphanage homes, and since you can stop a public bus to give to the poor, you are the right person for the job"
That was how my friend got his new job as a company Assistant Manager right after the distribution of funds. The man retained him because of his unique personality.
Sometimes, we give to people without expecting anything in return, when we give, people around us takes note of what you are doing and they may start giving back to you even when you don't ask them for it.
A friend of mine who i don't even talk to will always send me money each week. When ever i ask him what the money is for, he will say " Just manage it and keep doing good"
Meanwhile, i have never done anything so special for the person before, he just likes the way I give to people, that's all.
Giving has a lot of good benefits. You don't know who will help you in the future.
A popular saying made it known that " if you want to God to fulfill your needs, you must also learn to fulfill other peoples needs"
Receivers should always have a thankful heart, its not easy for someone to bring out something and give to you. So appreciate the ones you see. It motivates the giver to give more.
