The joy of giving

Giving to less fortunate people is a very joyous and noble act. When you see the glee on the faces of the people you are trying to bring warmth to, your heart will feel the warmth too. It is a great deed. Some people do not understand this and to them, giving is like losing their own personal assets. Therefore it is similarly not happy giving when we only give away things which have little value to us, or we know we will receive something in return. I think there is this term called "scarcity attitude" and this exactly describes the meaning of this term.

Marie Callas tells me this is not the right way to view things..because this universe's abundance is ever growing and the more we give happily, the more it will come back to us, all in the law of attraction. As said, the man gives in a spirit of abundance and in the fullness of time receives back many times over.

Either you have scarcity attitude or give generously, it depends on your personal outlook. If you are the first kind, that does not mean you are not a good person.
If you are the other kind, it could mean you are a person full of belief, faith and certainty in this world.

Five ways to give:

1. Give some of your time to those needy people. No need money here. Just give your time by helping them out.

2. Contribute to the society with your special talents to make the world better.

3. Give something of yourself as long as there are opportunities. This is how the universe works and the secret to abundant living.

4. Give in secret because the important aspect of your giving is the thought behind it, not the actual gift itself.

5. Give without any thought of return.

It is the thought or intention that counts the most. Your positive attitude too! When you give out of love for others, your giving comes from a sacred place. It is blessed. And you will be blessed in return.
