Give. Remember always to give. That is the one thing that will make you grow. ~Elizabeth Taylor While growing up in my mid-teens or so, my sister and I would sit on the floor of her bedroom and play Rummy 500 for hours at a time. She always won, until one day when she told me her secret. We both knew the rules of the game, but there was a strategy to it. She said, “Always give up your most important card and you will always win for some reason.” It didn’t make sense to me - why would I want to give up my most important card if I wanted to win? But after losing a million & one times, I tried it. I started giving up my most valuable cards, and in return, I ended up receiving them back and then some. I then started winning. I guess that’s how it is in real life: when you give, you get back in return. And it’s not meant in a selfish way. To genuinely give in real life is rewarding in itself, but to see someone else happy and take joy in seeing that person happy, says a lot about who you are. And yes, it may be a “risk”, just like in Rummy 500 - but it’s a risk that you’ll never regret. Nobody ever became poor by giving…nobody.----Read more of the article by clicking the link below. debrapasquella/2014/06/give-without-expectations.html?spref=tw #loveoneanother #giving #generosity #givewithoutexpectations #help #love #thegoldenrule #grateful #gratitude #payitforward
