Creating A Cycle of Abundance in 2009

By Marenda

Why is it better to give than it is to receive? The more you give, the more you receive. Success and living life abundantly are rewards granted to unconditional givers.

Unconditional giving is giving because you want to give, not that you feel like you have some sort of obligation to give.

When you give of your time, energy, resources, knowledge, skills, and/or talents, with no strings attached, you instantaneously set the Law of Giving and Receiving in motion. You become a magnet, attracting success and abundance.

There are both scientific and spiritual bases for this universal law of giving.

The Spiritual basis of The Law of Giving and Receiving: Whatever you sow, you will also reap. -Galatians 6:7

The Scientific basis of The Law of Giving and Receiving: For every action, there will always be an equal or even opposite reaction -Isaac Newton's Law of Motion.

Reasons People Resist Giving: There are many who are reluctant to give because they feel like they will not be left with enough for themselves. In most cases, this comes from a self-imposed limitation in their thinking which leads them to feel a sense of scarcity where it may well not exist.

As we see from the spiritual reasoning behind this universal law, you cannot reap what has not been sown.

From the scientific perspective, if you do nothing, nothing will happen. You must take action for something to occur.

Some people give because they think they will be left with nothing if they give - but these people will not receive anything, finding themselves stagnant and failing to develop as human beings.

There are also those who feel this same sense of scarcity; but give a little - they will receive a little in return.

Yet others have an understanding of the principles at work in the law of giving and receiving and will give, but only because they expect something for themselves in return, which perverts the law of giving.

Those who give out of selfishness learn that just as with gravity, you can't really bend the rules of the law of giving. You must give unconditionally to make the law work for you.

Start Giving From the Heart: When you start living by the principles of the law of giving and receiving, you learn that by giving your life is more, not less abundant. There is a feeling of accomplishment and success which is very exhilarating.

When you give unconditionally, you will start to see yourself in others and develop a deeper sense of empathy. You will learn to love others as you love yourself; it's a truly spiritual experience.

You become more sensitive and responsive to the needs of others, this is what enables you to give from the heart.

Your giving will inspire others to follow suit, setting off a self-sustaining cycle of giving.

Giving Produces Spiritual and Personal Growth: When you give unconditionally you build faith in yourself, in others and the entire world. Some describe it as a religious experience; it is certainly a spiritual feeling.

The more you give, the more you receive. You'll see the benefits, which will include love and joy. - 15784
