The Seeds We Plant Series #25: Give from the Heart and Expect Nothing in Return

Hi there,

We would avoid a lot of anxiety, anger, disappointments, frustration, guilt, shame, violence, vengeance, and the like if we gave and expected nothing in return. The heart is the center of our actions; to preserve it, we must not allow strings of destruction to attach to it, for out of the heart flows the issues of life (acceptance, forgiveness, joy, and homicidal and suicidal thoughts). When we give from the heart, we open ourselves to Infinite Intelligence.

Be grateful for experiences that unveil emotions and feelings, unlike your true self. Be grateful for the opportunities to speak with your children about giving. For what you teach, you ground the principles within yourselves.

Listen to this week’s episode of The Seeds We Plant Series #25:”‚Give from the Heart and Expect Nothing in Return.

Every day, we have opportunities to give to others without expecting anything in return.”‚

1. We can set an extra door mat outside our apartment building/homes so that people can dust off their feet without expecting them to do so. In other words, we don’t get upset because they choose not to use the mat.
2. We can take a few minutes and listen to our children without commenting or telling them how to feel.
3. We can open the door for someone without expecting them to do the same.
4. We can tell our children that we love them without expecting them to say it back to us.
5. We can purchase a gift for our loved ones without expecting them to do the same.
6. We can give promotions and raises without expecting our employees to do us favors (told and untold).
7. We can share helpful information without charging a fee or praising us for the information we share.
8. We can cook without expecting our significant other to help us cook, wash dishes, or take us out to dinner.
9. As parents, we can let our children live their lives without expecting them to follow in our footsteps or accomplish our unsuccessful dreams.
10. We can praise our children and others when they give from the heart without expectations without expecting them to do so.”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”‚As always, make this lifetime great because you still can!”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ”ƒ Timika
