‘You should always be a giver’

This has been one of the most significant learning from our childhoods that most of us are still
holding close.

Well, is that the complete truth in itself? Or does it come with multiple other connotations like: – ‘giving is nice’ – ‘those who give have a big heart’ – ‘taking makes us small’ – ‘giving is a way of showing kindness’

And because you have been holding onto all the above fixed points of views, how many times in the last one year did you feel COMPELLED to give gifts during birthdays, New Year’s, Christmas and million other festivities?Does the act of giving in itself make us good?

If you don’t give, do you think you will be rejected?

My lovely friend, have you been keeping most of your relationships intact just to return- the favor,
the money, the time that you think was invested in you?

How about we shift the perspective around ‘giving’ and ‘taking’ NOW… let’s call it ‘gifting’ and
‘receiving’… Does that lighten your world?

If you haven’t stopped reading as yet, then somewhere within you, you already know the pure joy of gifting and receiving.

Imagine a world where gifts (material or immaterial) are received without feeling indebted to return. You were able to, RIGHT?

If you can imagine it, I promise, you can create it!

How many equations of return policy have you locked up in your minds and bodies, so that you or
the other person is able to reciprocate some day? Will you please release all of them and all of that?

Yes, shed off that burden. JUST DROP IT!

Will you, from this moment STOP giving away your power and buying into societal norms of what
makes you look good in the world?

And instead, receive from anything and everything around you, even their JUDGMENTS, without any point of view! WONDER WHAT WILL THAT CREATE?

Yes, you heard me right, even the JUDGMENTS!

When you be YOU, fully, do you know what beautiful gift that is? Not just to other people around
you, but also to the beautiful planet EARTH.

Your BEING is a gift!

Starting today, acknowledge the nurturing, gifting capacity you carry in your BEING!

You may still go around gifting materials, but once you operate from the space of acknowledging
your capacity, what you create is MAGICAL.

So, here are few questions you may want to ASK the next time you plan on ‘gifting’ something to
someone: – Am I doing it out of compulsion or choice?

• Do I truly desire to gift this?
• Is it fun for me?
• How much world am I changing with what I am gifting?
• Am I doing this from the space that honors me and the other person?
• Is the other person willing to RECEIVE from me?
