The Irony Of Giving, For Me

Giving to others without wanting anything in return is an ironic game.

If you genuinely don’t want/need anything and just want to give, people will take, and take until you have nothing left to give. 

In that case, it’s not anyone’s fault if they take everything you have and leave you with nothing. 

It’s your own fault, but you don’t give to ever be at fault. You give as a default, if you really give, and live with the results.

The world will judge the results because that’s what the world does.

Some people give so open-heartedly that they don’t even realize they’ve given everything until they reach back to see that their supply is empty. They never look back.

They were so focused on giving to others, that they didn’t even bother to check on their supply, because it’s theirs, and it’s never been about them.

I learned that from my grandmother. I give just like her. She will give until she’s no longer here. I will probably do the same.

The only difference between my grandmother and Me is, I give to complete strangers, and people that aren’t family, and even though giving feels the same, it’s not.

It took me so many to understand how valuable time is. I finally get it. 

I don’t feel dumb for getting it late, or regret any time I have over given. I am glad that I allowed my ignorance and humility to put me through all of the things that made me ultimately confident in who I am now, fully knowing what my grand worth is.

I’ve given my life to this journey, even at the cost of my own health and life, with no regrets. But today, marks a new day for me. 

I am ready to continue my efforts of helping others, but not at the cost of de-valuaing myself.

I will carry on my efforts, putting proper business practice in place for both parties.

I will hold the people I look to help accountable, the same way I expect them to hold me accountable.

I will continue to help thousands of people around the world as I have been selflessly for the past 8+ years.

I thank God for the lessons, my constant humility, my regard for integrity and the respect I have for myself and others… I know it will carry me for the rest of my life.

I’m proud of myself.

Let’s get to work.
