Whatever you give, give genuinely...

Is everyone optimistic? or do we all hope so? how many of us take things the way it happens, without brooding over, or asking why  me? this doesn't mean am being optimistic or am not?

At times, life gives us a chance to make us understand why we are here, or what are we here for? Understanding the reason becomes the reason for us to love. It is now how much we achieved in being our self in our life, but how much we understood the process of being our self in our life. Have i felt the nothingness so far? I don think so..getting attached to things whatever i do, be it what i write, read, work, talk to.. i do get attached to everything. and will i ever get over being attached? and thats where i will transform into a new person i want to be. 

First lesson to be learnt is 

- Don't expect.. 
Just do it genuinely. How many of us do things without expectations? By learning to do this we will able to master our life. By not expecting we wont get disappointed. I believe that i have started giving without expecting anything in return, this will be giving unselfishly. Today, i was talking to our SRIT, Placement Officer, Mr. Shivakumar, he was telling me.. without expecting something in return, if we start giving genuinely, it will sure come back to us in someway, not immediately but eventually. but if we give something to get back, we limit ourselves in receiving. 


My sister Viji bought a book '29gifts' by Cami Walker, a book that talks about giving 29 gifts in 29 days. The author was suffering from a worst disease, her friend asked her to 29 gifts in 29 days saying that she focuses too much on the disease. so instead of that, she asked her to start giving gifts to others. reading this, Viji and myself, tried practicing giving small gifts every single day. That was indeed a wonderful experience. Here giving a gift does not mean that you have to spend money every day to get someone something. apologizing to someone who you ignore, saying thanks to someone who needs. This is not about giving gifts it is all about living every day with mind full of kindness, willing to open up. Giving someone without expecting what they want is blissful. This will sure help one stay balanced. 


So why don't you start gifting today?
