The Gift of Giving

There is so much to be done today. So much to do and so little time to do it. How can we even think of helping someone else? We must be crazy, right? It is hard to think of another task to add to our busy lives. It is so easy to keep going on schedule and continue on our journey to our own needs. One would think that with all that is on our schedule that we would try to eliminate some tasks instead of adding to them. However, what actually is the art of giving. There are no specific rules to it. You don’t have a certain amount of time that is required. It only takes a minute sometimes. Sometimes it only takes a day. There are some people who take on much bigger charitable tasks and give to those who really and truly need it. The art of giving makes one feel purposed. You feel as though you are contributing to a bigger picture. You have sown a seed of kindness into another individual. You have shown that not all people are shallow and selfish. You have also shown that to truly be in touch with one’s inner beauty is to make another person feel worthy and valued. We as humans are a might creature. We walk, talk, think, eat, sing, dance, invent, write, read and so much more. All these make us feel good. Giving makes us feel better. It seems that when we take care of another person’s needs we have somehow tapped into our own need to feel needed. How strange is that? The needed has helped the giver feel needed through the gift of giving.
