Give more than I take

When I give I get so much in return that it almost feels self indulgent if that’s possible! Sometimes I feel almost ashamed for feeling good about myself, proud, after giving someone my time and support. As if feeling pride is something to be ashamed of, where do these ideas come from anyway?

Sometimes when we open ourselves up to recieving from others we reward them in return with the gift of giving.

I want to be remembered as someone who gave AT LEAST as much as she received. If I were to die tomorrow I have not “entirely” lived the kind of life I would like or been the person I have the “potential” to be.

I know when I have given to others it has made me feel better than anything else and it is really true that it is better to give than to recieve. I feel I get back much more by what I give, but most of all when I give of myself and my time – we all know in this fast paced life that time is the most precious thing you can give.

The hardest part about this goal is that now that I have two kids it is that much harder to find time for others. But that wont stop me from working on this goal.
