If this is your first time, welcome! If not, welcome back!
Those who give the most will always have the most is from the principle of sowing and reaping. If more of us would think like farmers and start sowing the seeds of what we want, we will always have abundance. If you sow the seeds of friendship you will grow friends. If you sow the seeds of love you will have love. If you sow the seeds of insecurity, hatred, selfishness and lack, that will be your harvest.
We all should have been taught to get rid of the habit of self-centeredness around the age of 3 years old. This is what is known as learning to share. This is the act of giving something without the expectation or the demanding of something immediately given back to us. Anyone who has ever planted fruits or vegetables knows not to go out the next day or even worse, 10 minutes later and collect fully mature fruits and vegetables. So why do we expect such a fast return in life?
Giving should be a natural part of your lifestyle. This works in personal relationships and in business. Those who go into a mature relationship with the mindset of giving will always get. A mature relationship is when those involved don’t go into it with the expectation of getting, but with the anticipation of what they can give. Many relationships, personal and business have ended because one or both parties no longer or never had the other person’s interest in mind. Their only thought was “What about MY needs.” You will hear them say things like “He/She does not excite ME anymore.”, or “I don’t love them anymore.” As if true love was an emotion and not a decision. A successful relationship happens when two giving people come together and give; not when two needy people get together expecting to get.
Here is something for free to help you add spice to any relationship. Whenever you feel your relationships are heading in the wrong direction simply remember the letters S.P.I.C.E.D. These letters represent the following: Show Personal Interest In Communicating Every Day. For the men reading this, the greatest form of communication is listening and not just hearing. Send me a comment if you need more explanation.
In business, the employee that is expecting something from the business and they don’t get it start showing up late, mistreating the customers, or even resort to stealing. The company/manager who only looks at what they can get from the employee treats them as equipment to be used and abused instead of treating them as people who were hired to bring value.
The business that gives the best service, products, or convenience will have the most customers. The person that gives of themself the most will always have the most for themselves. If you are not used to or not comfortable with giving, this is the best time to start and no one would look at you strange. If someone asked why are you giving (kind words, gifts, help, etc), just tell them “‘Tis the season.” Start planting seeds of goodness and watch how great your harvest will be.
