Give Your Best!

Are you giving your best in every relationship?
To receive the best from life, we must give our best to life!
When you give Truth you receive the Truth you share.
When you give to others what you wish for yourself, you receive it in the giving.

It is in the giving the best that you receive your own favor.
It is in the giving the best that you feel pleased with yourself.
It is in the giving the best that you feel worthy of the best.
It is in the giving the best that you feel happy and grateful.

We have been rewarded by others for doing our best, in school, home and work.
This has caused a belief that giving our best will result in others rewarding us.
Then we believe others should reward us and we seek the reward.
We learn to seek others’ approval and rewards for giving our best. 

We need to unlearn giving to get.
We need to remember giving for the sheer pleasure of giving.
We need to realize all giving is a gift to ourselves.
We need to recognize that our reward is in the giving.

It is in giving that we receive the joy of doing and giving our best.
When we contribute to good with what we think and say and do, we increase the Good in the world.
When we demonstrate the abundant joy and life energy that comes from freely giving, we open the flow.
The more we give without thought of loss or sacrifice, the more we trust and free ourselves to give.

Contribution is really paying tribute.
When we give from Source to Source, we are re Sourcefull.
When we recognize we are giving to the One, all of us, we receive everything we give.
When we receive all that is given with Love, we receive always and only unlimited Love.

Each one of us is a gift.  
The real gift is in the giving. 
And the gift to the giver is in receiving the true gifts we give.
When we appreciate all that is given  to All, we receive unlimited Abundance. 

To give our best is to receive the blessing of being willing and able to give and receive.
When there are conditions on the giving or the receiving, the experience is limited.
When there is withhold or judgments about what is given and received, there is limited appreciation.

Take time to give your best.
Pay attention to how it feels inside.
Free yourself to give fully to everyone.
Appreciate how fully you give gratitude and joy to yourself.

Loving us all for the Gifts we really are,
Betty Lue

Do It Anyway
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.  
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.  
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.  Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.  
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy it all overnight.  
Build anyway.  

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.  
Be happy anyway.  

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.  
Do good anyway.  

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.  
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.  

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.  
It was never between you and them anyway.
