Giving is good.
Are you not getting what you want out of life, your relationships and your job? Have you ever tried to give what it is that you want? If you give what it is that you want from life to others, you will receive all that you want out of life and more. We all want love, kindness, safety, security, health, wealth and well being and we know that as truth.
So if we know what it is that we want, we can easily see want others want too. In these tough times we tend to curl up in our little cocoons and hide away ’till the storm passes. We need to break out of our shells, step forward into the great unknown and do the impossible. One truth that I know that will explode your spiritual growth is this:
The next step that you are afraid to take is exactly the step that you need to take.
Follow these simple steps to get what you want by giving what you want:
- Practice empathy by understanding all people are suffering and have experienced loss.
- Commit to a full day of giving from your heart.
- Meditate on opening your heart to giving.
- Give something small like a compliment or a hug.
Work on developing your insight as to why you do what you do and ask yourself these questions around giving:
- Am I coming from a place of lack?
- Am I coming from fear?
- Am I projecting poverty consciousness?
- Am I being selfish?
Remember not to condemn or judge yourself, just observe.
Why does giving work?
Giving works because it emulates nature and nature is always giving and abundant. Can you feel yourself as a giving and abundant being like nature? Observe nature, spend some time out there in it and see first hand its never ending supply that is given without expectation of any return. Can we give this freely and openly? Practice opening yourself to what others want by observing these facts:
- People often give exactly the opposite of what it is that they want.
- Most reactions are conditioned and habitual. “They know not what they do.”
- People are wearing masks that protect them from attacks.
- Suffering is often projected by others as fear, anger, or frustration.
When you open yourself to what others want you stretch yourself out beyond your safety zone and this creates growth. This growth mixed with wisdom and discernment practiced openly sets the example of love and kindness.
Hi Robert,
Over the weekend I was reviewing blogs that I subscribe to and I saw that I had not seen from you recently.
Great to see you back, great post, and I do like the new look of your blog.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the kind words.

Hello Again,
I wrote a few paragraphs, submitted and it didn’t take, so I’ll try again.
I recently took a test on “what is the nature of your personality?” The end results was a Mother Teresa type, except I have short blond hair and look nothing like her. Anyway, being that I have always been a giver/caretaker, motherly type as far back as I remember, I scratch my head to this day. I tend to attract selfish, sex maniacs, perverts, psycho’s, and very needy types of people. My body is a magnet for takers, and once they find out how much I give, they become bloodsuckers.
I was wondering if you had any feedback on this type of thing, because I know I’m not alone here?
I’m very excited to have found this site.
Miles of Smiles,
Pamela
ROBERT WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW INSPIRATIONAL YOUR PODCAST HAS BEEN TO ME, I AM NATIVE ALASKAN INDIAN TLINGIT AND HAD REALY HAPPENED UPON YOUR SITE ON I TUNES, I HAVE SINCE HELPED TO SPREAD YOUR ENTHUSIASM TO OTHERS, YOUR CLEAR THOUGHTS AND THE ABILITY TO COMUNICATE THEM ARE REMARKABLE, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A POSSIBLE PODCAST ON IDENTIFYING DEEP ROOTED PAST EXPERIANCES THAT CREATE OR MANIFEST INTO ANGER OVER TIME AND HOW TO EDENTIFY WHAT WHERE WHY AND HOW TO IDENTIFY POSSIBLE CAUSES,
PS PLEASE LEAVE THE NATIVE FLUTE IN THE BEGINNING AND END OF YOUR PODCAST
THANKYOU SO MUCH, FOR YOUR SINCERITY YOUR EFFORTS AND YOUR WORDS.
Hi Robert,
I have to agree with Derek on how amazing your are. I’ve been calling suicide hotlines, peer support groups, and going to all kinds of websites seeking HELP. The advice I’ve been getting would be a good topic of discussion on how our society doesn’t have a freaking clue, but I’ll stay positive here.
Anyway, I listened to your podcast on acceptance. It put life in a totally different perspective after listening to you talking about acceptance and watching the psychodelic computer screen. I was able to stay focused for most of the podcast. I’ll be going back a lot.
Your calm voice makes a big difference in making me feel at peace. Thank you.
I don’t know where you learned all this stuff, but I’m now a follower and will help spread the good word. The planet needs you.
Smiles,
Pamela
