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!

Integrity (Part 1)

   Integrity    Very popular but less functional. Integrity is simply the state of being wholesome (i.e. sound and healthy, promoting moral and mental well-being) and unimpaired (i.e. not rendered less effective). Let's do a simple mental class. Give your own definition of integrity while I give mine. STATE-BEING OF SOUND AND HEALTHINESS/WHOLESOMENESS. Integrity is taking your first bath of the previous day around 12:30 am of a new day. STATE OF UNIMPAIRED. Integrity is starting a meeting by the set time regardless the number of people present so as to be able to meet the set closing time of that meeting On the other hand, Integrity is doing the right thing at the right time in the right place with the right materials with or without the right people to watch, supervise or judge. Are you a being of integrity? Do you keep to you words? Have you a firm Yes and a solid No? Do you compromise a little bit? Do you bend your values and standards to please oth...

Secret Disciples

Secret Disciples When we do things in life, sometimes we think we do them out of pleasure, or out of personal interest but we are totally wrong. Especially when we do them for personal interest,we feel no one is watching us except God. Funny enough,some of us even know what are engaged into is very wrong and we intentionally say " God forgive me, I just have to do this" or 'Father in Heaven, forgive me for this thing am about to do'.    The plan truth is that there is one little person whom we do not know exist,sitting somewhere watching us- our dressing,our moves,the way we react to issues of life- in fact watching everything about us. That little( or maybe an adult) person is called our SECRET DISCIPLE. May be referred to as Secret Admirer also.     Our secret admirer wants to be like us,wants to do everything we do,imitate and imbibe our lifestyles - sing the songs we sing the way we sing them, make the same moves we make with our hands and head, follow the p...
