When you have no expectations, you will never be disappointed.
When you give with no conditions, you give only with joy and gratitude.
When you have no thoughts about what you “get back”, you are giving from your abundance.
When you give with a desire to get something in return, you are giving from your lack.
To give all to all, there is a freedom of flow and letting go.
When we give with joy and gratitude, we open the flow to receive all Good to be given.
When we “give to get”, we are giving with conditions and limitations and expectations.
When we give with implicit demand and neediness, we close the flow and receive less.
There need be no comparison of gifts in giving.
When we measure the love we receive, we are limiting its value.
When we judge what is received, we diminish the love of the giver.
When we expect thank you’s or acknowledgement, we are asking for what is considered etiquette.
However, we must ask, what is it that I need from the receiver?
What is it that I expect a thank you note or expression of gratitude?
How have I been taught and how can I continue to give that which is of value to me?
Can I receive the joy I have given without having someone notice and thank me?
Interesting question in this time where often people do not respond to RSVP,
Interesting values question when many forget to give thanks and appreciation.
Interesting dilemma when giving to children who often have no help or encouragement to say thanks.
Interesting spiritual concept when we sometimes learn “When you expect nothing, you get nothing!”
I know that what I give is given to my Self.
Do you?
I experience, when I give with conditions, I create a sense of obligation in the receiver.
What do you experience?
I see a world that feels lacking and limited.
I choose to fill it with my joyful contribution.
As I give freely, I feel abundant.
As I give with limitation and expectation, I feel limited.
When I give with Joy, I am filled with Joy.
When I give with Love, I am filled with Love.
When I give my All, I see the All I AM.
When I give my best, I know there is more to give.
Life is for giving.
You are the gift.
When you give yourself fully, you realize the Gift you Are.
So let us Give our All today, simply for the Joy of it.
Loving you,
Betty Lue
