Recipe for Giving

1st:     Give time
2nd:    Give of yourself
3rd:    Give without expectation
4th:     Require nothing in return
5th:     Examine your motives
6th:     Give to someone that you dislike or dislikes you
7th:     Make a habit of giving regularly
8th:     Make a giving calendar

Sometimes we worry about our gift being properly used, or more to the point, we worry about improper use. Then giving isn't the primary goal, but rather greedy giving takes over. Our intentions are good but we miss the point.

Giving something and telling no one you gave is the most rewarding. It doesn't pay right away, unless the giving is pure and unrequited. Giving sets an energy free inside you that conveys strength and compassion. Truly a powerful combination. Rewards become obvious, because good is good!
