Chain Of Exchange


CHAIN OF EXCHANGE

We all can remember trade by barter. Even though some may not have been born when this act was in existence but have definitely heard about it. Even from the name we can clearly understand what it means.

Permit me to ask a question: do people always expect a receiving in every of their giving? Your guess is as good as mine. Most people do! Too many people give out to await some form of receiving in return from the person on the receiving end…more like a “chain of exchange”, especially when it involves different genders i.e. a male assisting a female or perhaps vice versa. There’s usually this tendency to ask for a relationship (or even something more) at the end of such giving. This exchange has become the basis of so many relationships today which has led to many heart breaks because they believe they must always have something in exchange for whatever they give.

True giving is in learning how to give without having to expect anything in return. It’s a good thing to learn how to give cheerfully and wholeheartedly when you find yourself in a position to do so.

The popular saying ‘givers never lack’ is actually a very good quote and wise saying. Reason being that the quote didn’t say anything about your receiving but at the same time says ‘they never lack’. Giving to others is a beautiful thing, because he who gives will surely receive back in folds in some way or the other. But, giving without expecting anything in return is the height of true giving. If I give out, you give out, he gives out and she gives out, it all comes down to the giver receiving. It is a chain, just like the world in spherical shape, the chain goes round and round again, and then we discover we lack in no area of life.

Make a decision today to touch a soul, help the weak and give a helping hand when you can without necessarily expecting any form of exchange. That is when you have truly given.

You have never really lived until you help someone who cannot repay you!

APPRECIATED

It’s always a hurtful thing when we don’t feel appreciated or loved when we perform a good deed or help out in different ways that we can, especially for people we hold dear to our hearts. Funny thing is, everyone (Like God, our father) loves to be appreciated or acknowledged for a job well done or for a stitch in time that we make, and there is nothing wrong with that. In a small way we are all heroes. For us to acknowledge the work of others or the effort of friendships or any kind of relationship in our lives, we need to have an increased measure of sensitivity and a heart of gratitude. These magic words are short, simple to understand and are easy to apply but are not used as often as they should: Thank you, I love you, that’s thoughtful, Please, That’s thoughtful and I appreciate it, you did a great job; keep it up, etc. As important as words can be, nothing is more proving of your gratitude than your actions. Actions speak louder than words, you know? Another way to s...
