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!

Life Expectations.

Life is all about challenges, obstacles and hurdles towards achieving the great height of success. Our reaction to these present the person we really are. Expectations in life is a very critical issue but so many of us sees it as a norm.  Like everyone should have what they are expectant of! Dont get it twisted, when I mean expectation, I am referring to giving and receiving. Sometimes ago, a friend of mine was critically ill but all glory to God he struggled to recovery stage, at the point of recovery, he picked up his mobile and started listing out names of friends to eliminate from his life. Why? Some even go as far as saying; "Its God that allowed me know the kinda person you are" cos they at some point don't meet up to your intents. I really don't blame him, he expected so much from his friends with the thought that he once rendered one assistance or the other to them at some point which in turn make them indebted to him. My de...

Waste no time

DON'T WASTE TIME. The first question that I ask when whenever anyone ask for my opinion on an idea or something they wanna venture into is 'Do you truly love it?' and when I get a confident 'Yes'. I'll say 'don't waste time'. Make the necessary changes and plans. Do things that would build you up in every aspect rather than involving in activities that does not contribute to your greatness, success or happiness. To help you manage your time, try to make a plan and stick to it no matter how difficult it seems to be. 'Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new' - Albert Einstein.  Yes mistakes makes helps us learn alot of times. Don't keep repeating same process in which you've previously failed because that's insanity and you're only wasting and killing time. Choose or use an alternative if you think plan 'A' is failing, B to Z is there for use, just pick one up. Always say NO and mean...
