Thoughts on Giving


(I’m not a guru, I'm not an expert but here are my answers to the following questions...)

 QUESTIONS
"What are your thoughts on giving?", "What is real giving?"

  ANSWERS
"What are your thoughts on giving?
"Givers gain - takers lose"
"The hand that gives - gathers"
"As you sow, so shall you reap" 

Simple answers, I am sure we all know about it but sometimes how we are on giving of ourselves, our time, our service, and especially our money are areas to work on.

 "What is real giving?"
Two answers: 
I believe it is when there are no explanations about it, no excuses, no side-comments, 
no justifications just 100% offering of self, money, time and service;

AND when one does not expect anything in return at all! 

Let's all strive for real giving EVERYDAY. 
 
Our RESULTS: We will fall in love with ourselves, our lives and EVERYONE we meet. :)

NAMASTE.

    Be the change that you wish for , the change must start within us and multiply it to others. Your topic is giving for me real giving is like sacrificing if you know how to sacrifice, it is real giving sacrifice without asking in return or condition .The greatest expression of giving is God itself he give his only begotten son for us to have an eternal life he sacrifice his only son for us . To give without condition to sacrifice without asking in return is having a blessed heart . Blessed your heart Gemma .

    indeed , the person who are the recipient of your sacrifice must also know what are the things that you sacrifice for them but because we are only human and our hearts and mind sometimes don't agree that's why we asked in return or a favor . That's why when you give , you give with all your heart but your mind must agree with it .- shalomidom

    yes, human as we are -it's kind of automatic "What's in It for me?" and "If I will, You will".. we cannot just expect people to return the favor...

    as long as you make that sacrifice and you did not ask anything in return that is real giving that comes in your heart and your mind just go with it. I will quote my mom on this "kapag tumulong ka gawin mo para sa Diyos at hindi para sa kanila para wala kang hinging kapalit just like when you sacrifice you sacrifice for God not for them . - shalomidom

    Circumstances present itself and then there's no time to think of "Should I give or should I not give?" The impulse always is to lend a hand and more often than not, the return in terms of true friendship, love especially if you get it from little kids like we're getting now is more than enough. It makes the heart swell and thoughts of "How lucky can I be?" always prevails in the mind. - Zeny Bayuga

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
