It’s
been said that you cannot give away what you do not have. One of the
most spiritual important insights or secrets in life is that you
already have, and always have had, what you need to give away! If
you impart the message that ‘I am not worthy’ the universe will send
it straight back in many shapes, forms and circumstances. When we
say ‘give me’ we are imparting this message. We are saying we think
we need to get something to complete ourselves or prove our worth.
Most of us are taught to live a life of gimmie gimmie gimmie –
always striving, desiring, wanting, struggling. We do so only
because we think that when we get what we want we will be fulfilled
and esteemed by others. But it’s an illusion. We are all already
complete and worthy but we cannot know it and experience it, until
we give it away! Only giving allows us to know what we are and what
we have within. Ask the question – how can I serve? The intention to
serve will point you towards what you need to give. If the intention
is real it also generates the will. The most successful people in
life are not go getters, but go givers!
