Its Better to Give than to Receive
"It's better to give than to receive." You've probably heard that popular saying. From the Bible, Acts 20. "In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, `It is more blessed to give than to receive.' " When you give something from your heart without expectinganything in return, you release a powerful force that willtrigger your good deed to "bounce" back to you in amazing,and sometimes unusual ways. I firmly believe that whatever you impart to others willcome back to you a hundred fold. You are doing yourself abig favor by helping someone in need. By doing even thesmallest acts of generosity, you are inviting good vibrationsto come into your life. You would be earning the respect and love of your recipients.You know that you will always have a loyal group of friendswho would help, protect, and do anything for you just becausethey feel that they have to repay you in any way they can.Most people would have the urge or drive to reciprocate anyact of kindness you've shown them. However, this does not mean that you must expect them to repayyou. Give without any expectation of rewards. Don't do itjust because you have an ulterior motive. Give unconditionally.Give because you are happy doing it. The universe will getback to you in its own special way. Speaking of happiness, the act of giving can summon the spiritof joy to come into your heart. How would you feel when you'vegiven something to your less fortunate neighbors? Let me tellyou that nothing could brighten up my day more than hearing themexpress their most heartfelt gratitude and seeing their smilesextend from ear to ear. Giving is also a healthy habit. It could prolong your life byinstilling within you an inner sense of peace and accomplishment. Just like all things in life, giving has its limitations. Being too generous can have its toll. Your kindness might betaken advantage of and people might abuse your good intentions. Beware of individuals who are continuously seeking your aid.It's better to teach them how to solve their problems than toalways attend to their needs. As one saying goes ... "Give them some fish and you'll feed them for a day. Teach themhow to fish and you'll feed them for a lifetime." Lastly, here's what I consider the most important rule aboutgiving. Keep your good deeds to yourself. Don't announce to thewhole world that you've donated $100,000 to your favorite charityor that you've helped save a child from a life-threateningdisease. If you really desire to give, do it secretly and in private. Some people would write "anonymous" rather than their own nameswhen they've made a contribution. The universe smiles uponthese individuals, and they will get their just rewards in duetime. Now that you know how wonderful it is to give, would you go outto the world and share your blessings?

The Seasons Of Life, Part 4 of 5 This week is Part Four of our five part series on The Season's of Life. Listening to Your Inner Voice May Save Your Life "I was washing my breakfast dishes one morning when it occurred to me to go visit a friend who lived several miles away. I did my work and started to dress for my journey, when there came over me such a feeling of depression, or despondency, or gloom, that I could not understand. I kept on getting ready, all the time trying to reason away the feeling. But it would not go. Finally, I got my hat on and one glove and started for the door, when such a heaviness came over me that I turned back into my room and sat down saying, 'God, I want to know what the meaning is of all this?' The answer came loud, strong, and firm, 'Stay at home.' I stayed, and taking off my hat, gloves and cape I felt so light I seemed to walk on air. At the time I supposed the voice (I call it voice for want of a more definite term) had told me to stay at home because someone was coming to me for help. This was my first year as a teacher and healer. But not a soul came that day, nor that night, and the thought flitted through my mind that perhaps it was all nonsense after all and I might as well have gone. Imaginings Most people like movies. Some, like me, are enthralled by them. I am sure that making a movie is a lot of work; but to me, it seems like it must be the most fun in the world. I especially love movies that I can get so caught up in that they become real; so real that I forget that I am watching a movie. I fantasize about becoming an actor/director in a movie that I have scripted. Fear, Faith, and Believing vs. Knowing Fear is deeply rooted in uncertainty. Think about it; the only you've ever feared was the unknown. All fear and fears humans have experienced and continue to experience is rooted in uncertainty. A drive in an unfamiliar place can prompt fear, an unknown result, a stranger behind you, or a dark alley. Breaking Bonds I am just out of high school, and I have come to realize what I really want is completely out of my family's standards. I come from an Indian family, where the standards are extremely high. Like in most Indian families, I am expected to become a doctor or engineer. To please them, I followed a course in high school for science and mathematics. Psychic Sponge Syndrome: The Easy Inner-Centrifuge Remedy Here's a nifty trick to use to clear yourself of any psychic "stuff" you may pick up as you move through the world. I learned the basic format for it from a woman who had the booth space adjacent to mine at a tradeshow. Being someone who had not yet mastered the art of being open-hearted without sponging up the energy of others, I was walking around like a zombie on day two of the show, after having been immersed in the circus of conflicting energies the day before . My booth neighbor asked me what was going on with me, as I was obviously not as radiant as I had been on day one. When I explained that I had soaked up too much chaotic energy and didn't know how to rid myself of it, she said, "Oh. You just need to spin it off." And I said, "Cool! HOW?!"

The Challenge To Succeed So much has been written about success that one often gets confused about what success is all about. Success is such a personal thing that it may mean different things to different people. Yet we need to have a simple definition which should apply to all successful people and situations. The ultimate purpose of being successful is to take pride in one's achievements and be happy; and I think one of the best description has been put forward by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Growing From Good To Great I have never been fond of white-water rafting, probably because I don't like cold water. The sport consists of a raft, fast moving cold water, raft riders, and a raft leader/guide. I once saw a picture of a group of girls out for some white-water rafting fun. The girls in the picture were all smiling and waving to the camera while the leader's eyes were straining to see down stream. No doubt he was looking for the next big rock, up coming turns in the river, or other challenges that they would have to navigate.
