Giving this season with certain principles in mind and not out of obligations duties or needs. Do we really understand the moral fabric of giving to others? My cousin always says, " I give as good as I get". I know, I have always given without the expectation of getting something back which has caused me to feel drained, used and empty at times.
I have held long enough to those individuals I've extended my kindness to on the basis of their potential. I thought that one day they would have the ability to demonstrate the skills necessary to reciprocate some form or act of kindness back towards me. "When people show you who they are believe them." ~ Maya Angelou

Today, I stopped holding my breath and decided to let that particular door close permanently. Some people in our lives have overextended their grace card. There is a healthy balance. One should never expect from others more than they are willing to give nor should they take more than they are willing to give back.~ Lori M.
Learn to be a true giver from the heart and it will always come back to you because sowing and reaping are universal laws.
