Creating A Cycle of Giving And Abundance

By Mrs Taylor

You have heard all your life that it is better to give than to receive - but why? The answer is simple; the more that you give, the more you will receive. Abundance and success are the return for the unconditional gifts you make.

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.

The universal Law of Giving and Receiving is both spiritual and scientific.

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:
A lot of people will not give because they fear losing what they have; this is a feeling which comes from a sense of scarcity which is often not warranted by their circumstances.

From a spiritual perspective, if you do not sow, you will not reap. How can you receive anything, if you never give anything?

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.

Others will give just a little, again feeling a sense of scarcity - but those who give only a little will get only a little in return.

Still others understand the basis of the law of giving and receiving, but only give with the expectation of getting something in return.

If your reasons for giving are for selfish gain, you will learn the hard way that just as you cannot defy the laws of gravity, you also cannot defy the Law of Giving and Receiving. If your giving is tainted, what you receive will also be tainted.

Start Giving From the Heart:
When you implement the Law of Giving and Receiving in your daily life, you immediately experience a liberating awareness of abundance. You realize that you can give freely without fear of ever over extending yourself or experiencing lack and scarcity.

Your spirit makes the connection that the same Higher Power that created you, also created everyone else. This awareness changes how you deal with people. You begin seeing yourself in others. More importantly, you recognize what it means to Love others as you Love yourself.

You'll be more in tune with the needs of others and this is what will allow you to give freely and unconditionally.

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

Giving Produces Spiritual and Personal Growth:
Giving unconditionally leads to personal development and builds your faith in yourself, those around you and the universe as a whole. For some it is a religious experience, but it is undeniably spiritual.

The more you can unconditionally give, the more you will receive. You will receive joy, love and a feeling of accomplishment.
