giving-and-receiving

A rich life is lived from a giving heart not a selfish mind.

People who give the best are those who give of themselves _ your time, talents, words, knowledge.

When I harvest my life right up to the edges, I have collected every last kernel of blessing.

In this world, the thing people fear the most, and what pains people the most_ is giving more than they receive. God forbid I cut off more of my fingernail for you than you cut from your fingernail, for me! Heaven forbid I hold my breath in longer while thinking about you, than the amount of time your breath is held in for me! Not a second longer! It is sad fact of the human nature that there you stand as an Infinite Soul and yet your greatest fear is not receiving from another person in proportion to what you give. Your viewpoint is low, your vision is clouded. You have become, in your eyes, a funny little drawing on the paper pad of the universe. Indeed, this race is yet to evolve. And yet, I am surrounded by such fear, to such a great extent that I begin to fear the same!

Joy of giving, joy of receiving.

Sometimes, one yearns for something.For the ultimate in happiness. I yearn for it,and don't know where to look for it any longer. And I don't know if I would recognize it if I found it. And the longer I look, the more selfish I grow.For I think only of my own happiness. i think I have lost the ability to make someone else happy. If I ever had it. And I suppose we can never be happy unless we can also give happiness.

Both the giving and receiving of love is encoded within our deepest physiology and is all-important. This must not be taken for granted. Its expressions in our life _ or lack and denial thereof _ contribute substantially to our ultimate personal success, satisfaction, and quality of life.

The act of giving, abundant life.

Real love never fails, never fades, and the greatest expression of it is giving.

Humans are givers by nature; that's why it's easier to do something for another than for oneself. Try it, you'll see what I mean.

If you want to ask one question, ask yourself, what are you giving to the universe and only that will be returned.

The Dark Powers have to give before they can take.

You cannot receive until you learn to release.

Giving feels fantastic and for there to be a Giver, there must be a Receiver, so allowing yourself to receive is an act of love.

Give without expectation and receive with reckless abandon.

Life is a balance between giving and receiving. The more you give, the more abundance will fill your life with joy.

Giving is an act of generosity.Giving is sowing a seed.The seed will produce great harvest of fruits.

Just like you can__ reap a harvest without planting seeds, so you can__ get without giving.
