| A Gift From The Heart
 Since giving and receiving are so intimately intertwined in our lives, we often expect that we can attract abundance by simply acting in a generous manner. Yet, why is it that we can find ourselves wallowing in disappointment when our generosity is not met with the expected results? The answer to this quandry lies in the expectations (sometimes unconcious), that in part, initially prompted us to give.Though our intention is likely pure, we can unintentionally mar the beautiful experience of giving by focusing on what we will eventually receive in return.
When the gifts you give are laden down with expectations, they cease to be gifts and become units of exchange that you are, in effect, trading for some reward.
If you have trouble divesting yourself of your expectations, you may have need to reflect upon the root of your dificulty to act in the true spirit of giving. Each time you give a gift, whether spititual or tangible, ask yourself if there is something you hope to receive in return. You may be surprised to discover that you expect to be repaid by the universe with an easier life, financial windfalls, or opportunities.
To integrate this most selfless form of generosity into your life, you will learn to accept that while it's true that like eventually attracts like, it typically does so in its own divine timetable.
This can help you to stop weighing the gifts or energy you give against those you have received. Giving eventually becomes a profound joy that stands alone, separate from any and all conditions, and you will learn to appreciate the flow of reciprocal abundance as a gift in and of itself.
Wishing you the gift of peace in your heart,
