Unconditional Giving Builds Successful Relationships

Relationships with partners, children, co workers, service providers and all others can be successful.
Many attributes can be developed to encourage, increase, enhance, heal and benefit relationships.
It only takes one to make a relationship more functional, effective and healthy.
It only takes you one small shift in your attitude, your willingness and your choices.

When you give to another, you teach them what they could do for you and others.
When you benefit another, you give them the message that they are valuable.
When you offer support to another, you demonstrate the quality of relationship you desire.
When you appreciate another, you allow them to feel they are important to you.

Everyone deserves the best.
When we settle for less, we teach others to settle for less.
When we give our leftovers, we are modeling for them that leftovers are OK.
When we fail to give ourselves our best, we teach others we deserve less than their best.

Giving must be responsible with no martyrdom or sacrifice.
Giving must benefit both giver and receiver, always with no one losing.
Giving must be done with sincerity and fulfillment.
The value of giving is in the giving itself, not in the gift.

True giving is unconditional, without the expectation of getting something in return.
True giving is a blessing and a loving reminder of the value of the relationship.
True giving is joyful and appreciative for the opportunity to express love.
True giving is positive, encouraging and appreciative.

Remember that you can be giving a smile, a touch, a handshake.
You can listen to someone and truly care.
You can offer support simply by sending a positive prayer.
You can see the best in others and forget the rest.

When we come into any relationship with an attitude of gratitude and giving, it always works.
Everything is received by both in the heart of each, even if circumstances are distracting.
When we live our lives seeking to give the best, our lives are enriched with bountiful blessing.
When we give true appreciation for everything we are receiving, the giver is blessed.

Remember that you can be the unconditional Giver in every relationship and build a better world.
You can be the one who remembers when others forget or simply do not know how to give.
You can enrich your own life by learning to give unconditionally and notice how much you receive.
The more we give, the more we have.  The more we have, the more we can give.

And so it is…
Life is for giving.
You are the Gift.
It is in giving your whole Self that you realize the Gift You Are.

Blessing abound,

You are  my spiritual partners as we conspire to co-create a better world.
My heart smiles and my spirit rejoices.
Your gifts of love and appreciation inspire me and feed my soul.
Celebrate the gifts we share and grow in abundance and beauty.
Offering all I am given in Love,  supports, strengthens and affirms this Love.

I love you, as you live the life you consciously desire.
I am supported and sustained by your kindness and generosity.
May you  honor your Holy Self as you walk in Goodness, Beauty and Love.

Loving You,
Betty Lue
