When I give, I’m starting to look for my intentions for me giving. Am I giving with the hopes of getting something in return. How good does it feel to get recognition for your giving, it also motivates you to want to give more. But my giving will step up to another level when I give without expecting anything in return, not even a thank you from that person. Because I know what you put out in the world will come back to you. How often do we give to someone that has nothing to offer us in return?
The best way I found to give generously, is to prepare myself physically and mentally. For e.g. I find it easier to give each and every parking attended, if I had prepared to keep coins in my car as appose to the times I had none. When a friend is going through a tough time, do I first check in with myself if I’m willing to help before being pressured into do something that I may not be prepared to do.

I keep my focus on how good it feels to give, instead of how and how much I give. As I cannot give what I do not have.
