You aren't too poor to give, you aren't too rich to receive

Hello, hope you are doing great. It's a bright new day to give to your neighbor.

In the spirit of giving to others, so many mixed feelings are associated with them. Some feel if they give, the person given won't return the favor. In the spirit of giving, I always feel fulfilled, happy that I could help out in those situations. Nevertheless those love, items, money l give out, the universe usually finds a way of paying me back. Few years ago, I helped someone out in getting something for him done. He was my neighbor but never had time to even say a hello to him, despite that l still moved on to help him out. He was grateful for that and l felt fulfilled that I could actually help someone out. Within the next few months of doing so, he called me saying that he wanted to repay my kind gesture, and that moment was my worst moment when he came to my rescue l was happy, within those few days back I was thinking of how to handle the situation.

So many bad experiences have made people never help others, bad things happen to good people that you begin to regret why you actually helped this person. I nurse this while growing up due to the bad experience that happened to my parents, the disappointment on their faces whenever bad things happen to them, l feel like beating such people up, people that have caused pain and disappointment on their faces but nevertheless that doesn't stop their goodness. They keep doing good and helping people if they are in a position to help and that mindset has been in me but I do that with carefulness and caution.

The moments when goodness turns to bad, it feels like regret, you regret doing this for that person, you regret even trying to help, and never to render help anymore. This situation happens in life, there are always bad stories to tell in the midst of rendering help to others, but that shouldn't change who you are. You are appreciated for your kind gesture and the kind words whether the person that you help never appreciates your efforts, the universe appreciates that. Never change your personality just because of a bad experience, take precautions and apply wisdom. Most people help others just to get back at them, to mock them because of their situation. The fact is you can't change the way the universe pays back good deeds. Never mock others because of their situation, if you are in a position to help, you can willingly help but if you are not, you can give good advice to such people or encouraging words, it will go a long way in making them feel better.

Giving doesn't impose having all, making others feel less of themselves before you try. Nobody is too poor to give, no matter how poor you think you are, you can actually save someone life with your little contribution and wise words, you can save a depressed person, so many people go through alot, apart from financial situation, health challenges, stress and others but the way you welcome them and appraise with good words can go a long way in making them feel much better. Be a giver today!

Thank you for reading.

You're right, previous experiences tend to make us shy away from being helpful.

Perhaps we can talk about your referencing if convenient, they're not done rightly yet
